When a person commits certain traffic or legal offenses, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can revoke or suspend their driver's license. This means that their license is invalid, and the driver can no longer legally operate a vehicle.

What does it mean when your license is revoked?

What Is a Driver's License Revocation? The revocation of your license means that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) cancels your license and you can't reinstate it. As a result, you can no longer legally operate a vehicle.

What happens if you are revoked?

The judge will decide what to do. If they approve the motion to revoke, they will choose a penalty for you (like extra months of probation) or take away your probation. If the judge revokes your probation, you will return to jail or prison.
