How can I verify the status of my driver license or driving privilege? How can I get a NYS photo driver license or photo learner permit?

When you pay suspension termination fees, the payment does not guarantee that your NYS driver license or driving privilege will be restored. A confirmation message or e-mail from the on-line suspension termination fee payment is not proof that your NYS driver license or driving privilege is valid. You can have other suspensions, revocations or stops on your driving record that prevent the restoration of your driver license or driving privilege. A suspension cannot end until the suspension period is served. If you pay the suspension termination fee, the payment does not cause your suspension to end early. It is illegal to drive a motor vehicle when your driver license or driving privilege is suspended, revoked, or not valid. It is your responsibility to verify that your driver license or driving privilege is valid before you drive a motor vehicle.  more
