My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: Connecticut

So here's the back story. I was stopped last September and was cited for not having a valid registration (which was resolved a few weeks after). I will fess up and say I completely forgot to pay the $117 fine for not having a valid registration and never received a court summons. So time passed; In February I registered a vehicle in my name with no issues. In April I registered yet another vehicle in my name no issues. So May 6th comes along, which is the date that my license expired. So I went to the DMV and was told my license was suspended as of November of last year!!! I registered 2 vehicles after November and not once was flagged for a suspended license.

I'm lucky enough to be in walking distance of my job so the need to drive isn't high. But with a new job that requires transportation, I'm going to need this resolved.

I spoke with the DMV and they said I would have to first pay the ticket ($117 + $60 to reopen the case at the court house), then send in $175 to the DMV to reinstate my expired license. Once reinstated, I will have to pay my license renewal fee plus the fee for having it expire.

What are my options? Money is very tight at the moment and to dish out between $400-450 is not something I can do immediately. I wish I knew my license was expired earlier.

Thanks for any help.

Your only option is to fork over the cash.


Oh wait, your other option is to keep hoofing it.
