Can my Driving Privileges Be Suspended Without a Drivers License
Reader’s Question:
I got pulled over in the state of Michigan and I didnt have a driver’s license so the police officer instead got my SSN. Is it possible to suspend my driving privilege even if I do not have a license?

Thank you for asking Elle.
Michigan and Nebraska are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) and Non-Resident Violators Compact (NRVC). This means that the DLC requires member states to report traffic tickets back to the state you are licensed in, in this case the state which you would be licensed in if you applied and received a driver’s license.
The NRVC requires member states to revoke or suspend the driver’s license of drivers that receive traffic tickets while out of state and fail to pay them or otherwise comply with the conviction. It looks like it is under the NRVC that MI courts informed the NE Department of Motor Vehicles of your failure to pay for the speeding ticket and any other citation you received while in Michigan.
Even though you dont have a driver’s license you can be issued tickets, have a driving record and get your driving privileges suspended. Suspending your license in this instance likely means not allow you to apply or be issued a driver’s license until you take care of the outstanding tickets.
To make sure what you need to do in both Michigan and Nebraska to take care of this issue you will need to contact the court listed on your MI citation and the NE DMV.
Goodluck!
