What happens if I have a driver’s license from another state and I get a DWI DUI in Minnesota?
Not only can DWI/DUI’s affect you in the state where you receive them, they can also have an impact in other states. There is an interstate compact, and the member states of that compact share information regarding driving records with one another. This is in place so that if your license is revoked in one state, you can’t just go to another state and get a license there.
If you have a license from another state and get a DWI/DUI in Minnesota, there is a good chance that your license will be revoked in your home state at some point. Every state handles this differently.
Some states will not revoke your license unless you are convicted of the DWI/DUI in Minnesota, while some will revoke your license right away, even before you are convicted. It depends on what state you are from and what information they receive from Minnesota.
If you have a license from a state other than Minnesota and you get a DWI/DUI in Minnesota, call and set up your free consultations with one of Gerald Miller, P.A.’s experienced attorneys.
