The Illinois reinstatement fee after a DUI depends on whether the driver is coming back from a Statutory Summary Suspension or a full revocation. After a Statutory Summary Suspension expires, the reinstatement fee is $250 for a first offender and $500 for a non-first offender. After a DUI conviction revocation, the driver must apply through a Secretary of State hearing under 625 ILCS 5/6-208 and pay a $500 reinstatement fee once granted. Both categories also require the driver to complete a drug and alcohol evaluation and any recommended treatment, carry SR-22 high-risk insurance for a minimum of 3 years, and pass any required BAIID compliance period. Fees are payable to the Illinois Secretary of State by cash, check, or money order.
