How to Get a D6 Clearance Form in Florida

Posted on May 8, 2020 by TicketFit

If you are trying to get a D6 clearance in Florida, chances are that you want to reinstate your suspended driver’s license.

What is a D6 Clearance

A “D6 clearance” is a form provided by the court stating that you have met the requirements of a pending traffic ticket.

For example, a D6 clearance will be required if you:

Didn’t answer your traffic ticket within 30 days
Didn’t show up to court on a traffic summons
Failed to pay a traffic ticket
Failed to complete court-ordered traffic school
Elected to attend traffic school but forgot
Elected traffic school but you were not eligible to attend

After you, or our traffic ticket attorney, resolves your ticket, the court will issue a D6 clearance.

With this clearance letter, the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles will allow you to reinstate your license.

How to get a D6 Clearance

Depending on the County where you received your traffic ticket, the court will either give you a paper clearance form or they will send it to the DMV electronically.

If the court gives you a paper copy, you will need to visit a driver license office to submit the form in person and reinstate your license.

If the court sends the clearance form directly to the DMV, you may be able to reinstate your license at the courthouse. Just ask the clerk for help.

Before you can reinstate, you should check the status of your driver license at https://services.flhsmv.gov/DLCheck/ to verify that the court has marked your record “court requirements met.”

Once updated, you will be able to reinstate your license by paying the $60 reinstatement fee.

What is a D6 Suspension in Florida?

Posted on November 6, 2018 by TicketFit

At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney has handled hundreds of suspension cases. And while no one should knowingly drive with a suspended license, a suspension can occur for various reasons. For example, not carrying insurance, excessive points, or a D6 suspension.

What is a D6 Suspension

A D6 suspension is a court ordered suspension caused by an outstanding traffic ticket.

When you are issued a ticket in Florida, you have 30 days to select one of the following three options: pay the fine, attend traffic school, or request a court date.

If you fail to satisfy your ticket, the court will instruct the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) in Tallahassee to suspend your driver’s license.

Reasons for a D6 Suspension

1. You failed to pay your traffic ticket. If you decide to pay your ticket, you must do so within the 30-day deadline or risk a suspension. In addition, after 90 days unpaid, your traffic ticket will go to a collection agency.

IMPORTANT: Because paying a traffic ticket is an admission of guilt resulting in points, we don’t recommend you select this option.

2. You failed to attend traffic school. If you elect traffic school, you must mail the certificate of completion to the courthouse within 30 days. If you forget, the court will deem you guilty of the traffic offense, impose points, and order a D6 suspension.

3. You failed to attend court. If you received a criminal traffic ticket, a ticket which requires court appearance (such as speeding 30 miles over the limit), or you decided to fight your ticket without the help of a traffic ticket attorney, you must attend ALL court dates. Failure to do so results in a D6 suspension, and if it’s a criminal ticket, an arrest warrant.

3 Reasons for a Suspended License in Florida

Posted on December 23, 2015 by TicketFit

At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney has helped thousands of Florida drivers reinstate their suspended license. And while there are many reasons for a suspension, here are the top three:

3. Suspended License for Excessive Points

In Florida, traffic tickets carry points. So every time you get a traffic ticket, you may end up with points on your driving record.

If you get too many points, your license will be suspended for the following length of time:

12 points within 12 months: 30-days
18 points within 18 months: 3-months
24 points within 36 months: one-year

2. Suspended License for an Outstanding Traffic Ticket

If you are issued a traffic ticket, you have 30 days to respond. If you fail to do so, the court will order a suspension of your license. These suspensions are called “D6 Suspensions.”

However, not all traffic tickets are issued in person. Some tickets are mailed, such as red light camera tickets. So you may not even know that you have an outstanding traffic ticket unless you check the status of your driver’s license.

3. “Financial Responsibility” Suspensions

Lastly, your license can be suspended for failing to comply with a financial obligation. For example:

Not paying court costs
Not having car insurance
No paying a criminal or civil judgment, such as child support.
