Does California DL 4006 mean my license is active?
Not by itself. It may satisfy one piece of the administrative path, but the state can still require fees, proof, waiting periods, other holds, or status confirmation before the license is active.

What this usually means
Why this notice or form matters
DL 4006 is California's Application for Termination of Action. It can be part of the DMV paperwork, but the right use depends on the underlying hold and any proof DMV still needs. The roadmap checks this against the other holds you tell us about, because one cleared item does not always mean the license is active.

Before you pay anything
Checks that prevent wasted fees
- Do not use DL 4006 as a generic shortcut if DMV is asking for a different clearance or proof.
- Do not drive until California DMV status confirms the action is terminated and the license is active.
- If you are contesting the suspension or need a hearing, talk to a licensed attorney.

Before you act on this
What should I check before paying a reinstatement fee?
