Collier Clerk’s Office to Hold

The Office of the Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court will hold a driver license reinstatement event known as “Operation Green Light,” from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Saturday, April 9, at the newly opened Heritage Bay Government Center, 15450 Collier Boulevard., Naples, Florida 34120.

During Operation Green Light, individuals whose driver license has been suspended as a penalty for unpaid fines are given the opportunity to pay those fines without having to pay additional collection fees. Once paid, those who meet eligibility requirements will advance to the next step toward license reinstatement. Staff from the Collier County Tax Collector’s office will be on hand to print new driver licenses.

The event was especially planned to take place on Saturday to accommodate working residents who are unable to take time off on weekdays. Individuals who are unable to pay the total amount owed at one-time are encouraged to speak to a deputy clerk about payment plan options.

A person is not eligible for license reinstatement through the Operation Green Light event if his/her driver license has been suspended or revoked due to the following reasons:

• Failure to fulfill a court-ordered child support obligation;
• Driving Under the Influence (DUI);
• Failure to complete a required driver training course or alcohol/substance abuse program;
• A traffic-related felony; or
• Being a habitual traffic offender as defined in Florida Statute 322.264.
