Did you know about the suspension?
Whether you knew your license was suspended may be part of the charge. We check DMV notices, court records, and how you were told.
Driving on a Suspended License
Charged With Driving on a Suspended License?
Driving on a suspended license can lead to criminal charges. We review your license record, the reason for the suspension, and the charge against you.

What to do now
Call if you have a question or an upcoming deadline.
- 1Do not drive while your license is suspended or revoked unless a valid restriction permits that trip.
- 2Save the citation, complaint, DMV notices, and reinstatement receipts.
- 3Obtain a current DMV record when possible.
- 4Do not miss the court date while working on reinstatement.
What matters in your case
Why the license was suspended
DUI, failure-to-appear, financial-responsibility, point, and other suspensions can require different corrective steps.
Reinstatement is separate
Fixing the license can be important, but it may not automatically resolve an already-filed criminal charge.
Common questions
Will reinstating my license make the charge go away?
Not automatically. Reinstating your license may help your situation and avoid further suspended-license violations, but the existing charge still needs to be addressed.
What if I never received the suspension notice?
Your address history, mailed notices, and what the court previously told you may matter. Share your address history and any notices with your lawyer so they can review whether you received the required notice.
Can I drive to work while the case is pending?
Only if you have a valid license or restriction that permits that trip. Having a court case in progress does not restore your license.
