If your license was suspended for failure to pay a traffic ticket, you would need to take care of the outstanding fine before you can have your license reinstated. In some cases, you may be able to set up a payment plan or do community service in lieu of paying the fine. Once you have taken care of the outstanding debt, you will need to submit a request for reinstatement to the DMV. In some states, you may also be required to take a written or driving test before your license is reinstated.
