 Cancellation and Denial
Cancellation
"Cancellation" means the annulment or termination by formal action of the Secretary of a person's driver's license or permit because of some error or defect in the license or because the licensee is no longer entitled to such license.

Reapplication for a driver's license can be made only after the terms of the cancellation have been met.

Under Illinois driving law, your driver's license may be cancelled for the following reason(s):

Medical Condition - being medically or visually unfit to safely operate a motor vehicle; failure to submit a medical or vision report when required; failure to self-admit to a medical condition that may interfere with the safe operation of a motor vehicle.

Reexamination Requirement - failing to appear for a required reexamination; failing a portion of the test required on a mandatory reexamination.

Fraudulent application - committed a fraudulent offense in the making of an application.

Ineligible - not entitled to the license or permit.

Denial


"Denial" means that you are temporarily denied the privilege of applying for a driver's license and, in certain instances, an instruction permit.


Under Illinois driving law, a denial can only be entered to the driving record of an individual under the age of 18 for conviction of one of the following offenses:

1. A conviction for violation of any Illinois traffic laws that results in a mandatory revocation of driving privileges. A denial for this type of offense precludes application for either a driver's license or an instruction permit until the person's 18th birthday.

2. A conviction for driving without a valid driver's license or permit (no valid license). Such a denial forbids application for a driver's license until the person's 18th birthday, while application for an instruction permit is still allowed. If the person already has a driver's license, then the driving privilege granted by that license is reduced to being the privilege granted by an instruction permit.

3. A conviction for a serious moving violation of Illinois traffic laws. The length of this type of denial is either six months or until the person's 18th birthday, whichever is shorter. This denial only forbids application for a driver's license. Instruction permit applications are still allowed. If the person already has a driver's license, then the driving privilege granted by that license is reduced to being the privilege granted by an instruction permit.
