  If you drive while your license is suspended or revoked, you may be charged with a Class B or Class A misdemeanor, depending on the circumstances.

You may be charged with a Class B misdemeanor for your first, second or third offense within a five-year period. (N.D. Cent. Code § 39-06-42(1).) The maximum penalty for a Class B misdemeanor is:

30 days in jail, anda $1,000 fine. (N.D. Cent. Code § 2.1-32(6).)

You may be charged with a Class A misdemeanor for a fourth or subsequent offense within a five-year period. (N.D. Cent. Code § 39-06-42(1).) The maximum penalty for a Class A misdemeanor is:

one year in jail, anda $2,000 fine. (N.D. Cent. Code § 2.1-32(5).)

If your license was suspended or revoked due certain offenses, including DUI and offenses for which revocation is mandatory, you may receive a minimum penalty of at least four days in jail. (N.D. Cent. Code § 39-06-42(2).)

In addition to criminal penalties for driving on a suspended or revoked license, your license plates may be impounded and your license may be suspended or revoked for a longer period of time. (N.D. Cent. Code § 39-06-42(3), § 39-06-43.)
