Your letter
Using an SR-22 to get your license back in Albany
If you are in Albany trying to get a New York license back, the New York DMV often will not lift the hold until an SR-22 is on file. That certificate is one box on the notice — fees and anything the court listed still sit there. Do not drive until you know what the letter requires. Call (866) 778-1093 first. We start New York filings by phone. New York’s official insurance overview is on the DMV page we link. Your letter still names the filing and the dates. See License reinstatement.
