Juan Fernandez Barquin, Clerk of the Court and Comptroller for Miami-Dade County, recently announced “Operation Green Light,” a driver license reinstatement event to reduce the number of driver license suspensions and provide the community an opportunity to save on collection fees.
“This initiative reduces the burden on our residents who want to do the right thing by paying back their court obligations,” said Fernandez-Barquin. “During this time period, I have authorized my office to waive collection fees which lowers the residents’ obligations and provides them the ability to establish a payment program if necessary, so that driver licenses can be reinstated. The goal of ‘Operation Green Light’ is to help as many of our residents as we can during this period.”
Typically, a driver license suspension occurs when an individual has unpaid traffic tickets, fails to comply, or appear at a traffic summons, point suspensions, child support delinquencies, and more.
All court-related financial obligations can be addressed during this time. For more information, please log onto www.miamidadeclerk.gov.
The program runs through Sept. 17. Hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
