Under Virginia law (VA Code § 46.2-300), driving without a valid driver’s license is a criminal offense, not just a traffic violation.
A first offense is classified as a Class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by:
Up to 6 months in jail
A fine of up to $1,000
A permanent criminal record
A second or subsequent offense becomes a Class 1 misdemeanor, carrying:
Up to 12 months in jail
Higher fines
Increased impact on immigration status and employment
For individuals who are undocumented or have had a license suspended or revoked, the stakes are even higher. A conviction could affect your immigration status, lead to detention, or complicate your ability to regain driving privileges in the future.
No License? Don’t Risk Jail Time or a Permanent Record.
