Overview of Suspended License Cases in California
A suspended license is a problem many Californians must deal with at some point in their lives. In 2022, the California Department of Motor Vehicles reported 648,479 license suspensions and 19,744 revocations.
A suspended license can occur when someone’s driving privileges have been temporarily revoked as a repercussion for unsafe driving, or as a punishment for another legal matter. Operating a vehicle during a suspension is a criminal offense. A first offense can lead to up to six months in jail and a $1000 fine, while a second conviction can result in a year behind bars and a $2000 fine.
In Whittier, most driving suspension cases are handled through the DMV Driver Safety Office, located at 9338 Painter Ave, Whittier, CA 90605.
Reasons Your License May Be Suspended in California
Californians can have their licenses suspended for a multitude of driving and non-driving-related circumstances. A few common scenarios involving a license suspension include:
- DUI charge. The DMV may suspend your license immediately following a DUI arrest, before any court verdict.
- Negligent Operator actions. California’s DMV utilizes a system to track poor driving called the Negligent Operator Treatment System. A minor infraction may earn one point, whereas larger errors can earn two. Once you accumulate enough points, your license is suspended.
- Driving without insurance. If you are in a collision and found to be driving without insurance, the DMV will suspend your license for up to four years.
- Accident involving serious injury. The DMV may consider license revocation, suspension, or probation if you are involved in an accident that caused serious bodily harm.
- Fraud on license-related documents. If the DMV discovers you lied or misrepresented the truth on documents to obtain your license, they may revoke your driving privileges.
- Medical condition. Someone who has dementia, seizures, vision impairment, or other medical conditions that can affect their driving may have their license suspended.
- Failure to appear or pay. Failure to appear in court for traffic or criminal matters or to pay legal expenses may result in your license being revoked as punishment.
- Unpaid child support. As of 2025, if you earn over 70% of Los Angeles County’s median income and you are behind on child support, the courts may remove your driving privileges.

How Much Does a Suspended License Attorney Cost in California?

What Is the New Law on Suspended License in California 2025?
The newest law passed by the California State legislature relevant to suspended licenses is Senate Bill 1055.

This is a significant change, as license suspension has been a common enforcement tool utilized by California Child Support Services.
How Long Does It Take to Get a License Unsuspended in California?
How long it takes to get your California driver’s license unsuspended is based on the reason for the suspension, driving history, and the necessary steps to qualify.
