What is the penalty for driving without a license in Alabama?

What are the consequences if get pulled over in Alabama and I have a South Carolina license?

Sophie Newman · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“If you are licensed in another state, you can still drive in Alabama, so long as you have the license on you.
However, if it's not on you, a first-time conviction for driving without a license in
Alabama
 is a misdemeanor. This offense could carry a fine of $10 to $100 in addition to a $50 traffic fund penalty.
In Alabama, it is also illegal to
drive without car insurance
. You must carry at least the state minimum
liability insurance
 laid out by
Alabama's car insurance laws
.”
