    Top Reasons for Suspension

    Alabama's Driver License Division can suspend your license at any time for a variety of reasons. For starters, it tracks your convictions using a point system. Rack up enough points and you're likely to give The Driver License Division reason to suspend or revoke your license.

    Alabama has also enacted the Safety Responsibility Act, which requires drivers to file form SR-13 within 30 days of getting into an accident. If you do not file this report and the accident is your fault, you risk having your license suspended.

    Top Check Your Driver's License Status

    Whenever you need or want to check the status of your driver's license, you can order a copy of your driving record report. This record will spell out if your driver's license is currently valid. If your license has been revoked or suspended, the report will indicate that according to what's on record at the DPS. The report will also list the points against your license and, if appropriate, information on any accidents you have had.

    Top Suspension Points and Periods

    Suspension periods vary by the number of points a driver accumulates in a given period:

    • 12 to 14 points in a two-year period: 60 days
    • 15 to 17 points in a two-year period: 90 days
    • 18 to 20 points in a two-year period: 120 days
    • 21 to 23 points in a two-year period: 180 days
    • 24 and more points in a two-year period: 365 days
