A license is a privilege. If you lost it because you can't pay a fine then no, filing bankruptcy will not help you get your license back.

Not sure I understand, what claim has your license suspended?

It is possible to file a bankruptcy and have the suspension for not having insurance lifted. If your license is suspended for other reasons, filing a bankruptcy case will not help get the license back. You need to meet with a bankruptcy attorney who can help you determine if filing bankruptcy will help your situation.

It will depend why your license was taken. If it is for child support then no it will not be given back since this debt is not dischargeable.

You do not provide much information, but if you lost your license due to an unpaid judgment arising out of a motor vehicle accident, discharging the underlying judgment debt in bankruptcy will result in your operating privileges being reinstated. As soon as the bankruptcy is filed the automatic stay provisions will result in your license suspension being lifted.

No. You need to apply for a work permit.
