Invalidation of a driver's license or permit. (a) The Secretary of State may invalidate a driver's license or permit: (1) when the holder voluntarily surrenders the license or permit and declares his or her intention to do so in writing to the Secretary; (2) when the Secretary receives a certified court order indicating the holder is to refrain from driving; (3) upon the death of the holder; or (4) as the Secretary deems appropriate by administrative rule.
