Under recent changes to the law, The State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO) now has the power to suspend or cancel your licence as a result of you not paying your fines. Under certain circumstances, your vehicle’s registration may also be cancelled, and you may be charged with using an unregistered motor vehicle, using an uninsured motor vehicle and drive vehicle on road area with tax unpaid.

The SDRO may notify you of the enforcement action taken. Failure by the SDRO to notify you does not affect the enforcement action. It is important that you are aware of any licence suspension or cancelled vehicle registration. If you are unaware of the enforcement action taken, you risk committing the offence while suspended or cancelled, driving unregistered, and driving uninsured.

If you have been charged with driving with your licence suspended as a result of a fine default, you may be facing a driver’s licence disqualification period of 3 months.
