Suspension

Driving license may be suspended for any driver in accordance with Minnesota driving law, if:

• You have allowed your license to be used for fraud or an illegal action or have yourself used your license for fraud or an illegal action. It is illegal for anyone else to use your license or permit or for you to alter your license.
• You commit a traffic offense in another state that would be grounds for suspension in this state.
• You are judged in court to be legally unfit to drive a motor vehicle.
• You fail to report a medical condition that would have resulted in cancellation of driving privileges.
• You fail to stop for a school bus with its stop arm extended and its red lights flashing within five years of a prior conviction for violation of that law.
• You have a fake or altered license.
• You made a fraudulent application for a license or identification card.
• You took any part of the driver's license examination for someone else or had someone take the exam for you.
• You falsely identify yourself to a police officer.
• You fail to appear in court or pay a fine on a motor vehicle related Minnesota driving law violation when required to do so.
• You have been convicted of a misdemeanor for a violation of Minnesota driving law traffic regulations.
• You fail to pay court-ordered child support.
• You use or allow someone to use a license, permit, or identification card to buy tobacco products for someone who is under the age of 18.
• You use or allow someone to use a license, permit, or identification card to buy alcohol for someone who is under the age of 21.
• You are under age 21 and the court determines that you drove a motor vehicle while consuming or after consuming alcohol.

After the period of suspension has ended, Minnesota driving law stipulates that your driving privilege may be reinstated. This will occur only if all the requirements for reinstatement of your license are met.
