I have flags on my license, I need to get set back up on a payment schedule. Do I have to make an appointment or can I just come out there?

Unfortunately, there’s no single, universal answer to whether you need an appointment or can simply walk in to reinstate a payment schedule for license flags. This process varies significantly depending on:
- The specific state you’re in:
- Each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent agency has its own rules and procedures.
- Some states may allow certain transactions online or via phone, while others require in-person visits.
- Some states require appointments for specific services, and others do not.
- The nature of the flags on your license:
- The reason for the flags (e.g., unpaid fines, court orders, etc.) can influence the required procedures.
- Some flags may necessitate court involvement, which would add another layer of complexity.
General Recommendations:
- Contact Your State’s DMV Directly:
- This is the most crucial step. Visit your state’s DMV website or call their customer service line.
- Inquire about the specific procedures for reinstating a payment schedule for your license flags.
- Ask whether appointments are required and what documentation you’ll need.
- Check the DMV Website:
- Many DMVs provide detailed information on their websites, including FAQs, online services, and appointment scheduling tools.
- Be Prepared:
- Gather any relevant documentation, such as court orders, payment records, or identification.
- Be prepared to provide your driver’s license number and any other identifying information.
In summary:
To avoid any wasted trips or unexpected delays, please contact your states DMV before going to a DMV location.
