To see if your driver's license is suspended, you generally have these options:
How to Check if Your License is Suspended
Online through your State DMV website:
- Most states provide an online service where you can check your license status by creating an account or logging into an existing one. You will typically need your driver's license number, date of birth, and sometimes the last four digits of your Social Security number to verify your identity
- For example, in New York, you can sign into MyDMV to check if your license is valid, suspended, or revoked
- In Florida, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles offers a driver license check service online where you enter your license number, birthdate, and last four digits of your Social Security number to get your license status
- In India, you can check your license status by entering your driving license number and date of birth on the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways website
By Mail or In Person:
- If you cannot access online services, you can request a driving record or license status by mail or visit your local DMV office
- Some states allow you to call or visit the DMV to inquire about your license status
Additional Notes:
- The online "My License" service or similar may not provide an official certified driving record. For official purposes, you might need to order a certified driving record or abstract
- If your license is suspended, the DMV website or office will typically provide information on the reason for suspension and instructions on how to reinstate your license
