revoked license

No longer valid

A revoked license is one that has been officially canceled or withdrawn, typically by a government authority.

The phrase most often refers to a driver's license taken away for serious violations: He was caught driving on a revoked license.

Licenses for professions, businesses, or firearms can also be revoked.

Unlike a suspended license, which may be restored after a period, revocation is usually permanent or requires reapplication.
