Reapplying for your licence after suspension

Once your licence suspension has ended, you can get your driver’s licence back by paying outstanding fines, visiting a driver’s licensing office and paying the relevant fees. Drivers with suspensions of three years or more must take a road test and vision test.

How to get your driver’s licence back

One-year suspensions

If you have reached the end of a one-year suspension, you can reapply for your driver’s licence. Follow these steps to get your licence back:

  1. Pay any outstanding fines or debts you owe to the Court or Government.
  2. Pay any fees owed to ICBC. These could be:
  1. Visit a driver licensing office with required ID.
  2. Pay the $31 short term driver’s licence fee and $100 reinstatement fee.

Suspensions of three years or more

If you have been suspended for three or more years, you will be required to complete a re-examination for the class of licence that you held. The re-examination usually consists of a vision and road test. However, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles may require further testing to satisfy driver fitness guidelines. Book a driving test online.

You will also need to pay any outstanding fines or debts; follow the steps outlined above for one-year suspensions.
