License Status Terms

The Department of Driver Services is authorized to cancel your driver's license if you fail to give the required or correct information needed in your application or if you are otherwise ineligible. You may reapply once you satisfy the requirements.

When your driver's license is revoked, your driving privileges are terminated and withdrawn until the end of the period of time prescribed by the formal action of the DDS. At the expiration of the revocation period, you may apply for a new driver’s license once you satisfy the requirements. You will be required to re-take the driving tests. 

When your driver's license is suspended, your driving privilege is temporarily withdrawn for a specific period of time. At the expiration of the suspension period, you may apply for a driver's license once you satisfy the requirements.

When the driver is convicted of two or more serious traffic violations while operating a vehicle other than a CMV, the driver becomes disqualified only if there is a revocation or suspension of driving privileges.

The Department of Driver Services will impose penalties (points) upon receipt of a conviction of a violation of listed offenses found within the Rules of the Road codes.
