Out of State License

Charged with DUI while traveling out of state?

If you have been charged with DUI while traveling in another state, you may be subject to penalties in that state as well as your state of residence. This is due in part to the Driver License Compact, an agreement between nearly all the states in the nation that they will report traffic violations on a national database. This database, known as the National Driver Register, is viewable by all states that are members of the compact. In essence, this means that if you live in another state and are charged with DUI while in California, you will likely have the offense reported in the register, and may be subject to penalties in your home state such as driver's license suspension.
