Is my driver’s license suspended?
To determine the status of your driver’s license, you may visit https://services.flhsmv.gov/DLCheck/. You will need your driver’s license number to access your driver’s license information.
How does my license become eligible for reinstatement?
If your driver’s license is suspended, it becomes eligible for reinstatement only if all suspension holds affecting your driver’s license are resolved. You might have driver’s license holds for cases that are not assigned to LGBS or not with the Broward County Clerk of Court. Please visit https://services.flhsmv.gov/DLCheck/ to view all cases and holds that may be affecting your driver’s license. You will need your driver’s license number to access your driver’s license information.
What if I am unable to pay the full amount due?
Please contact us at 1 (866) 234-9790 to discuss setting up an affordable payment plan.
Can I get my license reinstated if I am on a payment plan?
No. All cases must be paid in full prior to the driver’s license becoming eligible for reinstatement.
Is my driver’s license reinstated automatically?
No. If your driver’s license is suspended, you are responsible for having it reinstated. After payment in full, you may go to the Broward County Clerk of Court’s office to have your driver’s license reinstated, if eligible. There will be a reinstatement fee due upon reinstatement.
What if I have already paid my account?
Please send us a copy of the receipt at 900 Arion Parkway, Suite 104, San Antonio, TX, 78216, or by email at SACC2-DOCS@LGBS.com.
Do you have bilingual and multilingual customer service staff?
Yes. We have bilingual and multilingual customer service staff readily available to assist you.
How do I know this is not a scam?
Any email message you receive from LGBS will originate from our email address ending in “lgbs.com”.
Any text message you receive from LGBS will originate from our 5-digit short code “98023” or from our 10-digit telephone number “210-526-0778,” and never from both. Short Codes can be obtained by companies only after they go through a rigorous approval and verification process with telecom industry authorities. Some scammers try to spoof a short code by displaying a 5-digit or 6-digit number in their texts, but a careful look will reveal that the texts actually originate from 10-digit telephone numbers (often with Country Codes); both the short code and the full telephone number are different from our numbers. In addition, our messages will always include your name, an account-specific reference number, our toll-free call-back number, a link to Disclosures and/or Frequently Asked Questions, and a link to the payment website. We never send generic text messages and never send messages to groups of people. If you call in, our representative will be able to verify your account information over the phone.
