I received a suspension notice

General information for New Jersey, New York and Washington, DC · Last updated

Quick answer

Determine whether it is a proposed or active suspension and why it was issued.

Do now

Read effective dates, hearing rights, compliance steps, and restoration requirements. Obtain your driving record and gather proof relevant to the stated reason. Seek prompt advice if the notice is wrong or your job depends on driving.

Watch for

Possessing a physical license does not prove valid driving privileges. Payment of one fee may not satisfy all conditions. Do not drive during an active suspension.
