A: Anyone charged and convicted a crime specified in Section 13A-12-291, which includes drug possession or drug use related offenses, will have their drivers license suspended, revoked or cancelled by the Alabama Dept of Public Safety once it is reported to them. Depending on the charge and the nature of the charges, the minimum time period of a license suspension is 6 months. While there is no specified time frame as to when the Alabama Dept of Public Safety will be notified of the conviction, usually upon receipt of notification by the clerk of court where the conviction is entered, the suspension will immediately go into effect.
