Suspended License in California

Did you get a letter from the California Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) saying they have suspended or are about to suspend your license?  You need to:-

• Learn why driving on a suspended license is dangerous.
• Identify how you got a suspended license so we can tell you how to fix the problem.
• Act now before it is too late - you may only have a matter of days to take steps to get your license back.

How do I find out if my license is suspended?

Call the DMV
To find out if your license is suspended (anywhere in California), call the California DMV at 916‑657‑6525.

Make sure to ask the DMV for:-

• The ticket number
• The courthouse location of the tickets that are causing your license to be suspended.

The Law in California see: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&sectionNum=40509.5.

You live Out of State or Out of Town

If your traffic ticket is out of Los Angeles county and you do not live in Los Angeles, then call us immediately because we can help you clear up your suspended license without you having to come back to Los Angeles.

If you live out of state and you got a ticket in Los Angeles California and did not take care of it, the California DMV will most likely contact your state's DMV, and then your state's DMV won't let you renew or get a license until this California ticket is cleared up.

If you cannot get an out of state license or your DMV won't let you renew your license until your Los Angeles County ticket is cleared up, call us if you are in this situation.
