suspended license within the last two years of your renewal.

Take the tests again. Are you unable to do it? If so I'm unable to want you sharing the road with me.

 

Put down where you live in your profile as you are asking about a particular law that will vary from state to state.

 

if you did it once you can do it again.

 

Many companies aren't concerned if the suspension is for unpaid support or unpaid parking tickets, etc. Moving violations are a problem though.

 

I assume a license under suspension may not be renewed. If that is not the case, you may have an argument to plead.

If your license expired, you may have to test again. Some states may allow a grace period, but I think that was old school, maybe/probably not today.

If it expired while under suspension for non-traffic-related reasons, and you can wrangle some leeway there, finding the right people to wrangle may be difficult.

If you are unemployed your state employment service may be able to apply persuasion, if not leverage.

States are overflowing with cash for job seekers, for training, etc., and they're giving some away.

Some answers regarding license renewal may be available at your state DMV or legal code site.
