License hold or stop
License hold or stop is usually controlled by a motor-vehicle agency notice or order. Start with the exact document rather than a nationwide deadline or penalty chart.
Documents to locate
- Agency record showing the hold
- Reason/code for hold
- Court or agency clearance needed
- Payment/completion proof
Questions to verify
- Which agency placed the hold?
- What exact event clears it?
- Is a court clearance required?
Keep court and license files separate
The driver-license process can be separate from the criminal prosecution. Keep agency notices, hearing records, and reinstatement proof in a distinct file unless local counsel tells you to combine them.
