Understanding License and Registration Issues and How We Can Help

License and registration issues occur when a driver operates a vehicle without valid documentation required by law. These violations can include driving with an expired license, suspended or revoked license, expired registration, or failure to properly display license plates. Such infractions can result in fines, vehicle impoundment, and even criminal charges in certain cases.

How License and Registration Issues Are Determined

License and registration violations are typically identified through:

1. Routine Traffic Stops:

   Law enforcement officers may request a driver’s license and registration during a stop and issue citations for any discrepancies.

2. Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Systems:

   These systems scan license plates and cross-check them with databases to identify expired or suspended registrations.

3. Renewal Records:

   State motor vehicle agencies track license and registration renewal deadlines and may flag non-compliant vehicles.

4. Inspection Checkpoints:

   Periodic checkpoints may reveal expired or missing documentation.

5. Failure to Display Proper Documentation:

   Driving without carrying a valid license or registration can lead to penalties, even if they are current.
