NJ Law on License Suspension
In New Jersey, driving privileges are governed by Title 39 of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated (N.J.S.A.). Your license can be suspended for various reasons, including accumulating too many points, certain traffic convictions like DWI, or failing to pay surcharges. The consequences extend beyond losing your driving privileges; a suspension triggers the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) surcharge system, adding significant financial penalties for years.
Founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, our firm has a deep understanding of the procedural and financial stakes involved in license suspension cases. We know that a suspension is not just a legal problem but a severe disruption to your daily life and livelihood.

Frequently Asked Questions: License Suspension in Camden County
How many points cause a license suspension in New Jersey?
Yes. Accumulating 12 or more points on your driving record within two years will trigger a suspension notice from the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission. The suspension length varies. A license suspension lawyer Camden County can help you request a hearing to argue for a reduction or avoidance of the suspension.
Can I get a restricted license for work if my license is suspended in NJ?
It depends. New Jersey is strict and does not typically issue “hardship” or restricted licenses for most suspensions. However, for certain suspensions (like some first-time DWI suspensions), you may be eligible for an ignition interlock device permit. An attorney can review your specific suspension order to identify any available options.
What is the difference between a suspended and a revoked license in NJ?
A suspension is temporary; your driving privilege will be restored after a set period and once you meet all reinstatement requirements (fines, surcharges, courses). A revocation is more severe and permanent; you must re-apply for a new license after the revocation period, which may involve retaking tests. Most traffic-related actions result in suspension.
How long does a license suspension stay on my record in New Jersey?
The suspension itself is noted on your driving record. While the active suspension period ends, the record of it existing may remain. Points that caused the suspension generally stay on your record for three years from the violation date. A license reinstatement lawyer Camden County can advise on the long-term impact and potential expungement of points.
Can an attorney help me get my license back after a suspension?
Yes. A license reinstatement lawyer Camden County guides you through the MVC’s requirements, ensures all fines and surcharges are properly paid, helps resolve any outstanding issues, and can represent you in any necessary hearings to restore your full driving privileges efficiently.
