In Virginia, a license revocation is distinct from a suspension; it is the complete termination of your driving privilege, requiring a formal application for reinstatement after the revocation period. The Virginia DMV can revoke a license for convictions like a third DUI within 10 years (Va. Code § 46.2-391), certain felony drug convictions, or being declared a habitual offender. Defending against a revocation requires immediate action, often involving both a court defense and a separate DMV administrative appeal.
You can review the official Virginia statutes on license revocation at the Virginia General Assembly website (Va. Code § 46.2-391). For local court procedures, visit the Fluvanna County Courts website.

Fluvanna County License Revocation Defense FAQs
What is the difference between a license suspension and a revocation in Virginia?
A suspension is temporary; a revocation is the termination of your driving privilege. After a revocation period ends, you must apply for reinstatement, pass tests, and pay fees—it is not automatically restored. A revoked license defense lawyer Fluvanna County can challenge the initial revocation.
Can I get a restricted license after a revocation in Fluvanna County?
It depends. For some revocations (like a first or second DUI), you may petition the court for a restricted license for purposes like work or school. For indefinite revocations (e.g., a third DUI), you are generally ineligible for several years. An attorney can advise on your specific eligibility.
How long does a license revocation last in Virginia?
Revocation periods vary. A third DUI conviction in 10 years leads to an indefinite revocation. A habitual offender revocation lasts at least three years. Other felony-related revocations have mandatory minimums. A license reinstatement after revocation lawyer Fluvanna County can help determine your specific timeline.
What should I do first if my license is revoked?
First, contact a lawyer immediately. You have a limited time to request a DMV administrative hearing to contest the revocation. Second, do not drive. Driving on a revoked license is a new criminal offense that carries jail time and extends the revocation period.
Can an attorney help with license reinstatement after revocation?
Yes. A license reinstatement after revocation lawyer Fluvanna County guides you through the complex process: ensuring all revocation periods are served, completing required programs (like VASAP), handling paperwork, and representing you at any necessary DMV or court hearings to restore your privilege.
