Authority reinstatement: what it means
The record after a revocation is cured, and why the next 90 days are watched.
What the public record shows
- Reinstatement restores a revoked docket once the missing filing (insurance, bond, BOC-3) is back on file and the fee is paid; it is an L&I event with a date.
- CarrierDaily treats the reinstatement date like a grant: contact or officer changes within 90 days are post-approval changes, and an authority under 90 days old is an amber line.

Questions
Is a reinstated carrier riskier?
The record does not say. It says the authority lapsed and was restored, with the dates, so you can ask why.
