Revocation
Investigation Packet

Per ADOT Motor Vehicle Division

As with all states, Arizona considers driving to be a privilege and reserves the right to suspend or revoke your license. However, this type of punishment is typically reserved for dangerous drivers or individuals who have repeatedly violated traffic laws and are considered a public safety risk.

Also, for people who have obtained a D.U.I. or have been driving under the influence of drugs.

The main difference between a license suspension and a revocation is that license suspensions have definite start and end dates. With a revocation, your license is taken completely away.
You will be required to pay the appropriate application fee and a $20 reinstatement fee (additional fees may be assessed), and you may be required to file a Certificate of Insurance (commonly known as an SR-22). A written, vision, and road test may be required.

Your Driving Privilege May Be Revoked for

  • Driving a Vehicle Under the Influence of Any Drug. (maybe Revoked for Offenses Before Jan. 1, 2017).
  • Any Homicide or Aggravated Assault Involving the Use of a Vehicle.
  • Any Felony in Which a Vehicle is Used.
  • Perjury or Making False Statements to M.V.D. Under Oath.
  • Perjury Relating to the Ownership or Operation of a Vehicle.
  • Failure to Stop and Render Aid at the Site if You Are Involved in a Traffic Accident.
  • Drive-By Shooting.
  • Aggravated D.U.I. (Driving While Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs).

Your Driving Privilege Will Be Revoked for Two or More Convictions for

  • D.U.I.
  • Reckless Driving.
  • Racing on the Highways.

In Addition, Your Driving Privilege May Be Revoked for

  • Failure to Take and Pass a Required Driving Retest.
  • The Determination That You Are Medically, Psychologically, or Physically Incapable of Operating a Motor Vehicle.
  • Three (3) Years if You Are Involved in an Accident Resulting in Injury Other Than Death or Serious Physical Injury.
  • The Determination That Continued Operation of a Motor Vehicle Would Endanger the Public Health, Safety, and Welfare.

Traffic Survival
School Course (T.S.S.)

Per ADOT Motor Vehicle Division

If you accumulate 8 or more points in any 12-month period, you may be required to attend Traffic Survival School (T.S.S.), or your driving privilege may be suspended for up to 12 months.

All convictions for red-light/stop-sign running, aggressive driving, moving violations resulting in death or serious injury, and the first moving violation for drivers under 18 years of age require successful completion of Traffic Survival School following assignment. Failure to successfully complete Traffic Survival School when ordered will result in the suspension of the person's driving privilege.

If you have questions, please contact M.V.D. or the Arizona Chapter National Safety Council at (602) 222-3381 or (800) 840-7563 (TDD systems only: call (602) 222-3376 or (877) 900-9160) or visit www.azstatetss.org.

Ignition Interlock
Device (IID)

Interlock Device is an in-car breath-analyzing device that is connected to the vehicle's ignition and requires a breath sample before the engine will start. Additional breath samples may also be required at intervals while driving.

The length of time required for the Interlock Device will be noted on the ADOT notification or review: AZMVDNow.gov.

AZ law requires all newly installed, transferred, or replaced devices to be equipped with a camera, GPS, and real-time reporting capabilities. (See A.R.S. 28-1462 and A.A.C. R17-5-604. Effective July 1, 2018.)

There are no provisions in state law to exempt a person with a medical condition from an interlock requirement.
