Out-of-State DWI

DWI In North Carolina But You Live In Another State?

Don’t Jeopardize Your Chances of Getting Your License Back.

What happens if you are from another state and get a DWI in North Carolina?

If you are an out-of-state licensed driver and you have been convicted of a DWI charge in North Carolina, your home state can – and in most cases will – revoke your license. 

How is this possible? All but two states across the country have instituted either the Interstate Driver’s License Compact or the Nonresident Violator Compact, agreements that allow the department of motor vehicles to share information related to your drunk driving conviction between states. 

Review the map to determine if your state has a compact in place. If so, if your license has been revoked or suspended in North Carolina, your license will likely be revoked or suspended in your home state as well, until you satisfy the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requirements.

Consequences of an Out-of-State DWI

A DWI charge in North Carolina is a very serious offense. The consequences of your out-of-state DWI in North Carolina can range from fines, community service, jail time, and mandatory DWI classes or treatment. In addition, your home state will likely suspend your driver’s license. This is a time sensitive matter that requires you to follow detailed procedures in order to meet the requirements necessary to get your license back.
