Solved

Let's break down what she can do to resolve this:

Understand the Suspension Notice: Since the D6 letter indicates that she needs to present the notice to the Arizona DMV, it's crucial to follow this instruction. This means she should contact the Arizona DMV to understand their process for handling out-of-state suspensions.
Contact the Arizona DMV: She should reach out to the Arizona DMV to explain the situation and ask about the specific steps they require to lift the suspension. They might need her to provide the D6 letter and possibly pay any outstanding fines or fees.
Check Florida DMV Requirements: Even though the letter suggests handling it through Arizona, it's wise to double-check with the Florida DMV. Since the online lookup shows a suspension, she should confirm if there are any additional steps needed directly with Florida, such as paying tolls or fees. (Fla. Stat. § 322.251)
Pay Outstanding Tolls and Fees: Ensure that all unpaid tolls and any associated fees are settled. This might involve contacting the Florida Department of Transportation or the specific toll agency to clear any dues.
Consider Legal Assistance: If the process becomes too complicated or if there are any disputes, consulting with a traffic attorney might be beneficial. They can provide guidance specific to her situation and help navigate any legal hurdles.

Hello, my mother has an Arizona driver license but owns a truck in FL which is registered to her. She does not have a FL driver license. She received a suspension of her FL license due to unpaid tolls. Will she have to go in person to a Florida tax collector's office to reinstate her license?

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand how concerning it can be to deal with a license suspension. Has your mother received any specific instructions regarding the reinstatement process from the Florida authorities?

A D6 letter says to reinstate her driving privilege, she will have to present that notice to her out of state driver license office that issued her license, which would be Arizona. But looking up her license on the FL driver license lookup, it shows suspended and that she has to go in person.

Lexi, Chatbot

Is she currently residing in Florida or is she still living in Arizona?

She is still living in Arizona.
