In Massachusetts, driver’s license reinstatement fees vary significantly depending on the reason for suspension. They range from $100.00 to $1200.00 and the Registry does not offer any payment plans and you cannot get your license back until the fees are paid in full. Here are some specific reinstatement fees based on the type of violation:
DUI/OUI Related:
1st Offense OUI $500
2nd Offense OUI $700
3rd Offense OUI $1,200
4th Offense OUI $1,200

You’ll need to visit an RMV Service Center in person to complete the reinstatement process and pay the fees. Most Service Centers accept cash, check, money order, and credit or debit cards, though payment methods may vary by location.
