License Revocations

A suspended or revoked license can affect your being able to work, especially if your employment is based on driving. The difference between suspension and revocation is that a license suspension is for a fixed time, ending automatically upon payment of a suspension termination fee. Once the suspension time has been served, DMV will reinstate your license upon payment.

Except with certain exceptions, license revocation is not for a fixed time, nor does it automatically end. A license revocation is for a minimum time which won't end until you reapply to DMV with the reapplication fee, and submit proof to DMV that you have completed the required alcohol or drug treatment mandated. Your driving record will also be reviewed, and your reapplication can be denied if it contains an accumulation of negative units for each conviction of the moving violation. At the end of the revocation period, though, you will not have a new driving record; for any convictions you had which caused the revocation of your license, will still be part of your record.

Also, if you are twice convicted of DWI or DWAI drugs which involved accidents and physical injury, whether to yourself or to others, your license will be permanently revoked.
