Understanding Revoked License Charges in Essex County
Under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 510, a license revocation is the formal withdrawal of your driving privilege. Unlike a suspension (which is temporary), a revocation requires you to reapply for a new license after the revocation period ends. Driving while your license is revoked is a serious offense under VTL § 511, classified as Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO). A first offense is a Class A misdemeanor, carrying up to 30 days in jail. Subsequent offenses can be felonies. The Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, has helped clients across New York handle these complex reinstatement procedures.

- File for a conditional license if eligible (e.g., for work or medical appointments).
