- What happens if I get a DUI in California while on vacation?
- What happens if I get a DUI while I was on a business trip and I live in another state?
- What happens if I get a DUI in California but want to move from California to another state?
The California DMV will report the conviction to the Department of Motor Vehicles in the state where you are licensed. The state where you are licensed will suspend your license.
It is possible you may not be allowed to drive in the state where you are licensed until the California suspension is lifted and the state where you are licensed honors the lifting of the suspension. Therefore, to get rid of the California suspension, the California DMV requires you, the driver, to call (916) 657-6525 to request an “Application for Termination of Action.”
You should also consult with an attorney in the state where you have a driver's license or want to get one to determine how a California DUI conviction and/or driver's license suspension will affect your driving privileges in that state.
