Can You Travel with a Suspended Driver's License

At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney has successfully reinstated hundreds of suspended licenses. And while no one should knowingly drive with a suspension, you may be wondering if you can travel with a suspended driver’s license.

Using Your Florida Driver’s License as Identification

A Florida driver’s license, even if suspended, is a valid form of identification for purposes of traveling. As long as it is not expired and complies with the requirements of Real ID.

However, what you may not know is that possession of a suspended license is by itself a crime in Florida.

Unlawful Use of Driver’s License

Under Florida Statute 322.32, it is unlawful for any person “to display, cause or permit to be displayed, or have in his or her possession any canceled, revoked, suspended, or disqualified driver license knowing that such license has been canceled, revoked, suspended, or disqualified.”

A violation of this statute is punishable as a second degree misdemeanor!

So, while you can travel with a suspended driver’s license, you are risking a criminal charge if you are caught driving to the airport on a suspension.

Our Florida Traffic Ticket Lawyer Can Help You

While a Florida driver’s license may be suspended for many reasons, including an outstanding traffic ticket, or not having insurance, our traffic ticket lawyer can help.

How to Get a D6 Clearance Form in Florida

d6 clearance

If you are trying to get a D6 clearance in Florida, chances are that you want to reinstate your suspended driver’s license.

What is a D6 Clearance

A “D6 clearance” is a form provided by the court stating that you have met the requirements of a pending traffic ticket.

For example, a D6 clearance will be required if you:

  • Didn’t answer your traffic ticket within 30 days
  • Didn’t show up to court on a traffic summons
  • Failed to pay a traffic ticket
  • Failed to complete court-ordered traffic school
  • Elected to attend traffic school but forgot
  • Elected traffic school but you were not eligible to attend

After you, or our traffic ticket attorney, resolves your ticket, the court will issue a D6 clearance.

With this clearance letter, the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles will allow you to reinstate your license.

How to get a D6 Clearance

Depending on the County where you received your traffic ticket, the court will either give you a paper clearance form or they will send it to the DMV electronically.

If the court gives you a paper copy, you will need to visit a driver license office to submit the form in person and reinstate your license.

If the court sends the clearance form directly to the DMV, you may be able to reinstate your license at the courthouse. Just ask the clerk for help.

Before you can reinstate, you should check the status of your driver license at https://services.flhsmv.gov/DLCheck/ to verify that the court has marked your record “court requirements met.”

Once updated, you will be able to reinstate your license by paying the $60 reinstatement fee.

At TicketFit, our attorney will determine the reason for your suspension, fix it, and get your clearance letter. In addition, he can reinstate your license without you having to go to court or the DMV. In most cases, you will have your license back within 24 to 48 hours.

At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney has helped thousands of Florida drivers reinstate their suspended license. And while there are many reasons for a suspension, here are the top three:

3. Suspended License for Excessive Points

In Florida, traffic tickets carry points. So every time you get a traffic ticket, you may end up with points on your driving record.

If you get too many points, your license will be suspended for the following length of time:

  • 12 points within 12 months: 30-days
  • 18 points within 18 months: 3-months
  • 24 points within 36 months: one-year

2. Suspended License for an Outstanding Traffic Ticket

If you are issued a traffic ticket, you have 30 days to respond. If you fail to do so, the court will order a suspension of your license. These suspensions are called “D6 Suspensions.”

However, not all traffic tickets are issued in person. Some tickets are mailed, such as red light camera tickets. So you may not even know that you have an outstanding traffic ticket unless you check the status of your driver’s license.

3. “Financial Responsibility” Suspensions

Lastly, your license can be suspended for failing to comply with a financial obligation. For example:  

  • Not paying court costs
  • Not having car insurance
  • No paying a criminal or civil judgment, such as child support.
