Home / Drivers / Driver Reinstatement / Cancellations & Revocations

If you have received an insurance cancellation notice, you will need to provide one of the following proofs of compliance by fax, mail, or by clicking here:

Compliance

  • Proof of Insurance with a company authorized to write in Louisiana
  • Cancel the plate online or surrender by mail
  • Proof of the date the vehicle was disposed by submitting one of the following containing the VIN:
    • Bill of Sale/Trade-in Documents/Lease Return
    • Total Loss Statement from the Insurance Company
    • Proof of Repossession from the Lien Holder
    • Junked or Salvage Receipt
    • Out-of-State Registration

If the vehicle is not insured or disposed of timely, then you will also owe a fee. Fees are based on the number of days without insurance. 

FEES & PAYMENTS

Fee Amounts

Fees are based on the number of days without insurance.

  • 2-30 days: $125
  • 31-90 days: $275
  • 91 days and above: $525
  • If the debt is delinquent and transferred to the Office of Debt Recovery (ODR) a 15% ODR fee will be added.

Insurance cancellation fees have a cap of $850.00 plus a $25.00 administrative fee per cancellation when paid on the same day. If you are 65 years of age or older, the cap is decreased to $250.00. However, the cap does NOT apply to any insurance cancellations that have been transferred to ODR.
