Is there a right to appeal an application denial or license suspension or revocation?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Only for suspensions
• D. Only with an attorney

Answer: (B)

When a licensing decision is made, you generally have a right to challenge it. If your application is denied or your license is suspended or revoked, you can typically seek a hearing or reconsideration with the issuing agency, and then pursue judicial review in district court after a final agency order is issued. This right is part of due process in administrative law: it lets you present your side, ensure the decision followed proper procedures, and check that there was enough evidence to support the action. You don’t necessarily need an attorney to start the appeal, though having counsel can help, and there are time limits to act.
