Knowing What Is At Stake After This Charge

Driving without a license is typically charged as a Class B misdemeanor and will result in the Illinois Secretary of State suspending or revoking your driving privileges.

You will be charged with a Class B misdemeanor if you are caught driving on a license that has been expired for over a year, driving if you have never been issued a driver’s license or permit, or if you are too young to obtain a driver’s license or permit.

In addition to criminal penalties, the Secretary of State may suspend or revoke your license for a period of time, ranging from a suspension of two months to complete license revocation.

  • First Conviction: 2-month suspension
  • Second Conviction: 4-month suspension
  • Third Conviction: 6-month suspension
  • Fourth Conviction: 12-month suspension
  • Fifth or Subsequent Conviction: license revocation
