If the commissioner of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles determines you to be a habitual offender and you believe that you do not fit the definition above, or if the determination was based solely on failure to pay fines or costs and you have now paid all such fines or costs, you may petition the circuit court in the city or county in which you reside to restore your privilege to drive. If you are not a resident of Virginia, you may petition the circuit court of the city of Richmond, Virginia.
