Suspended license? Tampa Bay area clerks can help reinstate it without extra fees

Operation Green Light events in the Tampa Bay area will run through early April.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — If you have a suspended license, Operation Green Light could be your ticket to getting back on the road. 

The annual event, hosted by Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers, is an opportunity for customers to pay overdue court obligations such as traffic tickets while saving on collection fees to get their license back.

More than 24,000 people became eligible for driver's license reinstatement at 145 events held from 2019 to 2021, the Clerks of Court said.

Customers can check their driver's license status on the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website.

Here's when the Operation Green Light events will take place.
