How to Read the Report

There are a couple of phrases you need to get familiar with to understand how to read the report.

Revocation: If your license is revoked, it is not valid anymore and it can not be re-issued. After you reinstate your driving privilege, you need to take the written and driving test again, in order to get a new license.

Suspension: In other words, suspensions means temporary removal of the driving privilege. You should know that a valid license may be re-issued upon reinstatement. Also, if your license has expired you need to renew it upon reinstatement. In the cases of suspension when the driver collects too many traffic violation points, the suspensions will require a written test at renewal.

Denial: A restraint action when no valid license exists at the time of restraint.

Cancellation/Denial: This includes actions to void a Colorado license and deny the driving privilege. Reinstatement is required and the driver needs to pass a written and a road test.

Cancellation: Cancellation is a process that does not require reinstatement. Yet, that only counts if the cancellation is compiled within a timely manner. If there is another license or permit, the cancellation may be issued. However, that counts only when the reason for cancellation is still outstanding.
