  Additional Information

  • A driver license suspension or revocation is a separate action from any court case. You must follow Division of Motor Vehicles reinstatement procedures to regain your driving privileges.
  • Once reinstated, you may be required to obtain a new license, which may require a written and drive test.
  • License suspension and revocation information is shared with all 50 states. No state may issue a driver license if there is an active suspension or revocation in any other state.
  • The letter you receive when the restraint action is first taken identifies the beginning and ending dates of the suspension or revocation period. The Division of Motor Vehicles does not notify drivers when their suspension or revocation period has ended.
