If you have more than one suspension/revocation/disqualification order, Virginia law requires you to pay a $5 fee for each additional order as well as a reinstatement fee.
For example: If you are reinstating your driving privilege and have three effective orders, DMV will require you to pay the highest reinstatement fee, plus $5 for the second order and $5 for the third order.
Virginia law requires any customer, with 2 or more suspension/revocation/disqualification orders in effect, to pay the highest reinstatement fee for one order as well as $5 fee for each additional suspension/revocation/disqualification order. This $5 fee is referred to as a Multiple Order Fee.
Virginia law requires payment of this fee when a person has more than one effective order that requires a reinstatement fee. This fee helps recover administrative costs associated with the compliance of multiple orders on a customer's record.
Below are three scenarios:
It depends:
No. Virginia law requires you to pay ALL fees before your driving privileges can be reinstated. If you have any Multiple Order Fees outstanding, your driving privileges will remain in a suspended/revoked/ disqualified status until all fees are paid.
No. There are no statutory provisions to contest this requirement.
No. You may pay each $5 Multiple Order Fee individually, as long as the reinstatement fee has been satisfied in full. Remember that your license will not be reinstated until ALL fees have been paid.
Yes. The compliance summary will display a general message regarding the upcoming Multiple Order Fee legislation. Additionally, compliance summaries will indicate if you are required to pay a Multiple Order Fee on all effective orders.
