Depending on the type of driving offense, if you live in the state of Illinois and have a traffic violation, your driving privileges can be either suspended for a determined amount of time, permanently revoked, or cancelled until certain terms have been met.
If your license has been revoked, it means your driving privileges have been taken away indefinitely. In most circumstances you may be eligible to reapply for your license after a minimum of one year. There are cases, however, that are exceptions to this rule and the wait time to reapply could be much longer. This is decided by the Secretary of State's office in Illinois. In agreement with Illinois driving laws, they have the authority to revoke the driver's license of any individual with multiple traffic or driving offenses. Being a repeat offender, puts your vehicle registration in jeopardy, in addition to your license being revoked. Regardless, it's illegal to drive on a revoked license. If you're caught driving after your license has been revoked there will be major consequences with the law.
Your driving privileges can be revoked for the following offenses in the state of Illinois. Note: this is only a partial list.
• Reckless driving which results in the death of another
person (minimum two-year revocation)
• Being convicted of three reckless driving offenses within a
1 year period (12 months)
• Fleeing the scene of a crash that killed or injured another
person(minimum three-year revocation under Illinois driving law)
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Committing a felony in which a vehicle you operated was
used as part of the crime
• Fleeing from the police and refusing to stop when directed
Suspension works a little different in that if you're license has been suspended you have temporarily lost your driving privileges. You'll be able to get your license back after the suspension period ends provided that the terms of suspension are met. The length of the suspension period will vary depending on the driving offense you were convicted of.
In the state of Illinois, if you've been convicted of three driving violations during a 1 year period or (12 months) your driver's license will be suspended. The following conditions will be cause for a suspended license in Illinois. Note: this is only a partial list.
• Being uninsured and involved in a crash in which you were
responsible and for which you owe damages to another
individual due to your negligence
• Being guilty of a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or
higher following a DUI arrest

Different rules of suspension apply for those under 21. If you have been arrested for two driving violations, while under the age of 21 within any 24-month period, your license will be suspended. In certain instances you may be eligible for a probationary license, occupational driving permit, or restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State's office will notify you if you are eligible for any of these options.
Any individual under 18 years of age who ends up with a suspended license will be required to successfully complete a driver education course or submit to a driver's license examination in order to regain their license.
In cases where your license has been cancelled, if the termination is a result of an error in the license or because the licensee is no longer entitled to a driver's license, you may be eligible to reapply for a driver's license only after the terms of the cancellation have been met. Under Illinois driving law, your driver's license may be cancelled if you've been deemed unsafe to operate a motor vehicle due to medical or visual restrictions. This applies even if you fail to bring forth any medical condition that could impair you from safely operating a motor vehicle.If you don't submit required medical or vision reports, fail a portion of the test required on a mandatory reexamination, fail to take a scheduled reexamination test, or submit a fraudulent application you're at risk for your license being cancelled.
Minors
Individuals under the age of 18 can be temporarily denied the privilege of applying for a driver's license or instruction permit if found guilty of violating any Illinois traffic laws that results in a mandatory revocation of driving privileges. If you are under 18 and caught driving without a valid driver's license or permit, you lose your right to apply for your license until you are 18 years of age. Applying for an instruction permit, however, is allowed. Any conviction for a serious moving violation of Illinois traffic laws results in denial of applying for your license for either six months or until the person's 18th birthday, whichever comes first. This denial does not apply to instruction permits. If the person already has a driver's license, then the driving privilege is reduced to an instruction permit. If you've been convicted of any out-of-state violation comparable to the offenses of Illinois driving law you may also be denied your license in Illinois.
