At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney has successfully reinstated hundreds of suspended licenses. And while no one should knowingly drive with a suspension, you may be wondering if you can travel with a suspended driver’s license.
Using Your Florida Driver’s License as Identification
A Florida driver’s license, even if suspended, is a valid form of identification for purposes of traveling. As long as it is not expired and complies with the requirements of Real ID.

However, what you may not know is that possession of a suspended license is by itself a crime in Florida.
Unlawful Use of Driver’s License
Under Florida Statute 322.32, it is unlawful for any person “to display, cause or permit to be displayed, or have in his or her possession any canceled, revoked, suspended, or disqualified driver license knowing that such license has been canceled, revoked, suspended, or disqualified.”
A violation of this statute is punishable as a second degree misdemeanor!
So, while you can travel with a suspended driver’s license, you are risking a criminal charge if you are caught driving to the airport on a suspension.
