The length of the suspension is indefinite. The effective dates or offense dates do not indicate the person was issued the ticket, only the date the Florida Department of Highway Safety (HDSMV) suspended the license for the failure to pay or the failure to appear. In that case, the person would have to show two clearances, one for each suspension.

It is possible for a driver to have a “failed to pay” and “failed to appear” with the same ticket number. These suspensions can appear as a failure to appear on traffic summons and/or failed to pay traffic fines. The department issues a post-dated suspension order (for a post-dated suspension set out 20 days). The court sends an order requiring the department to suspend the person’s driving privilege until the person comes into compliance. What is a D-6 Suspension?Ī D-6 suspension occurs when a person is issued a citation and fails to appear or fails to pay or complete some other condition required by the court. In order to reinstate your Florida driver license, you should contact the clerk of court in the county where the suspension occurred to clear the hold so the clerk’s office can provide the D-6 clearance form (or D6 clearance) to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). If you fail to appear for court after receiving a criminal citation or civil traffic infraction or if you fail to pay a fine or complete some other condition ordered by the court, then the court may suspend your Florida driver license by issuing a D-6 suspension.
