Reinstatement Procedures for Minors Who Received a Notice of
Intent to Suspend for Non-Compliance with School Attendance
Requirements. If you are a licensed driver, in order to
reinstate your driving privilege, you must provide notice of
compliance with Section 322.091, F.S. If you are unlicensed, the
department will withhold eligibility and deny an application for
a drivers license until you provide verification of compliance
or reach age 18.
For middle schools and high schools, a reinstatement form (HSMV
72870) is required. The forms are issued by the school after 30
consecutive days of attendance with no unexcused absences. The
count begins the first day after the last unexcused absence. A
high school diploma, high school equivalence diploma or a
certificate of high school completion is acceptable instead of a
reinstatement form. Reinstatement forms and diplomas can be
faxed to (850)414-7453. Reinstatement forms must be notarized or
have the school seal and be legible. For licensed minors
reported to the department in error, the school districts can
electronically transmit a cancellation code to delete the Notice
of Intent to Suspend. This must occur within 20 days from the
date of the Notice of Intent to Suspend.
For private schools, a reinstatement form is required. The
forms are issued by the school and satisfaction of relevant
attendance requirements is determined by the educational
setting. Reinstatement forms are obtained from the department;
however, several private schools have been provided the form to
be used.
For home education, a reinstatement form is required as well
as proof of enrollment with the school district's home education
program. Reinstatement forms are obtained from the department.

Test of General Educational Development, a reinstatement form is
