F302 — Pedido de Suspensão da Sanção Acessória (ANSR form: request to suspend a driving ban)
With this form you ask for an ancillary sanction to be suspended or reduced — usually a driving ban that comes with a fine. The deadline is the same as for a defence: 15 working days from the day the notice of offence is served. You apply through the offences portal, by email signed with your citizen card, by registered letter to ANSR, or in person at the PSP or GNR.
Where you come across it. A driving ban has been added to your fine, and you cannot manage without a car.
Suspension is not granted to everyone or every time: the offence must be serious (grave) and the fine already paid. If in the last five years you have had no penalties for a serious or very serious offence and no road traffic crimes, the suspension lasts from six months to a year. If you had one serious offence in those same five years, it lasts from one to two years and comes with compulsory training. For very serious offences (muito graves) there is no suspension at all. If you offend again, skip the training or lose your licence, the suspension is revoked and the sanction is enforced in full. The request itself also incurs costs.
