Under Louisiana driving law, the surrender of an
individual's actual driver's license will not be required
to begin the period of suspension and/or
disqualification. In accordance with Louisiana traffic
laws, the suspension and/or disqualification dates can be
given:
- Upon receipt of the individual's most current operator's license
(in-state or out-of-state),
- Upon expiration of the operator's license, on the date a
statement of non-possession is received,
-
After the expiration date of the prior suspension or
disqualification, or 30 days after the date of the
notice of suspension, depending upon the individual
record.
Each conviction of driving under suspension will cause
your suspension period to be extended for one year.
Driving while your license is suspended will be cause for
arrest, a court fine and/or time in jail.
In accordance with Louisiana driving law, upon expiration
of any suspension period, a reinstatement fee will be
required before your driving privileges can be
reinstated.
