Welcome to the DMV Driver Services secured online payment system

The DMV’s secured online system allows you to pay driver’s license suspension-related fees and save processing time. Connecticut law requires certain fees be paid prior to the reinstatement of a driver’s license. These fees can be paid through DMV’s online system.

Be sure to check your suspension notice for additional requirements.

Processing time can take up to 10 business days.

Please note:
Getting an online payment receipt does not mean that your driver’s license will automatically be reinstated.

Check the status of your license to verify if it has been reinstated.
