If you received a DUI, DWI, OWI, or OUI in another state, your driver’s license may still be suspended or revoked, even years later. Many drivers are surprised to learn that moving to a new state does not clear an old DUI, and that the National Driver Register (NDR) can block license reinstatement until all requirements are satisfied in the original state.
One of the most common requirements for out-of-state DUI license reinstatement is a substance abuse evaluation completed by a licensed provider and accepted by the DMV, DDS, or licensing authority.
At AACS Counseling, we specialize in out-of-state DUI evaluations conducted 100% virtually, accepted nationwide, and completed quickly so you can move forward without unnecessary delays.
What Is an Out-of-State DUI Evaluation?
An out-of-state DUI evaluation is a clinical substance abuse assessment required when a DUI (or equivalent offense) occurred in a state different from where you currently live.
Common Offense Names Include:
DUI – Driving Under the Influence
DWI – Driving While Intoxicated
OWI – Operating While Intoxicated
OUI – Operating Under the Influence
Even though the names vary, the requirements are similar: the state that issued the suspension typically requires a substance abuse evaluation before clearing your driving record.
Why Is My License Still Suspended After Moving States?
Many drivers believe that relocating automatically resets their driving status. Unfortunately, this is not true.
Common Reasons Your License Is Still Blocked:
Your original DUI state placed a hold on your record.
Your name appears on the National Driver Register (NDR).
You didn’t complete the required evaluation or education.
You didn’t submit proof of compliance.
The DMV requires updated documentation.
Until the original state clears the hold, no other state can issue a license.
This is why an out-of-state DUI evaluation is often the final step toward reinstatement.
