License revocation is the official cancellation of a person's or entity's legal permission to operate or engage in certain activities. This can apply to various types of licenses, such as driving licenses, business licenses, or professional licenses. Revocation typically occurs due to violations of laws or regulations, such as repeated traffic offenses or failure to comply with industry standards. When a license is revoked, the individual or organization must cease the activities covered by that license. To regain their license, they may need to fulfill specific requirements, such as completing educational programs or paying fines. The process and criteria for license revocation can vary by jurisdiction and type of license.
