Penalties for Driving with a Revoked License

Driving While License Revoked (DWLR) is a considered a class A misdemeanor.

Penalties are serious and may include one or more of the following:

  • Up to one year in county jail
  • Fines and cost of $2,500.00
  • Probation
  • Public service work
  • Driver safety school

Further, if you are convicted of DWLR, it can adversely affect your ability to apply for reinstatement of your license or a restricted driving permit from the Illinois Secretary of State. For many individuals who had their license originally revoked for DUI and had a previous DWLR conviction, yet continue to drive on a revoked license, the State's Attorneys Office can elect to charge this matter as a class four felony.
