Classes of License Suspensions in Ohio
How Long Will My Suspension Last?
Ohio has devised a “CLASS” suspension system setting forth the lengths of time a person can be without a license. The classifications can be found at R.C. 4510.02 (A) (Court Suspensions; denoted by numbers) and R.C. 4510.02(B)(BMV Suspensions; denoted by letters). It is advisable that you speak with your attorney as many courts offer programs (at little or no cost) that help you get valid. Below are the lengths of the various suspensions as set forth in the Ohio Revised Code:
COURT SUSPENSIONS
- Class 1: Lifetime
- Class 2: 3yrs to life
- Class 3: 2 – 10yrs
- Class 4: 1 – 5yrs
- Class 5: 6mos. – 3yrs.
- Class 6: 3mos – 2yrs.
- Class 7: “a definite period” – 1yr
BMV SUSPENSIONS (Note: all for a fixed length)
- Class A: 3 yrs
- Class B: 2 yrs
- Class C: 1 yr
- Class D: 6 mos
