Which department has the right to cancel, suspend, or revoke your license?

• A. The Department of Driver Services
• B. The Department of Public Safety
• C. The Department of Transportation
• D. The Department of Motor Vehicles

Answer: (A)

Driver licenses are issued and managed by the state agency responsible for licensing drivers, and that agency has the authority to take licensing actions such as canceling, suspending, or revoking a license. The Department of Driver Services is the state entity that issues licenses and determines sanctions when rules are violated, medical issues arise, or safety concerns exist. Other departments handle related tasks—enforcing traffic laws, overseeing road systems, or managing vehicle registrations—but they do not typically have the authority to cancel or revoke individual driver licenses.
