How to Restore Your Montana License After a No-Insurance Suspension
The short answer
These are the steps the Montana agency lists to restore a license after a suspension for no insurance. The state's reinstatement fees are $100 to $200, depending on the suspension. Whether an SR-22 is also required depends on your case.
In Montana, a gap in insurance mainly affects the vehicle registration; the steps below follow the state's own process.
Steps listed by the Montana agency
- Follow any instructions that the judge or court gave
- Provide proof of liability insurance to the Motor Vehicle Division Records and Driver Control Unit in Helena (fax 406-444-1631 or P.O. Box 201430, Helena MT 59620-1430)
- Purchase restricted registration and plates at your local County Treasurer's office; after the 90 or 180 day period, return to have the restriction removed
- Pay the $100 reinstatement fee online, or by check or money order payable to the Motor Vehicle Division

Check your status first
Need to drive to work while suspended? The state offers a Restricted probationary license. Many states limit these licenses to certain suspensions, such as DUI cases, so check that it covers yours.
