How Do I Get My License Back if I Got a Ticket Out of State?
Full Question:
Answer:
All 51 U.S. driver license jurisdictions share information on suspensions, revocations, cancellations, denials and serious traffic violations through the National Driver Registry, the Problem Driver Pointer System and, for commercial license holders, the Commercial Driver License Information System.
A suspension or revocation must be cleared by the state which originated it. There is no time limit or statute of limitations on how long an active suspension or revocation remains listed and in effect.
If your license is suspended or revoked in another state, you must follow that state's reinstatement procedures. See http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/home/dmv.htm. There is no need to contact the Nevada DMV until you have completed the process. Most states will issue a clearance letter and you will not have to physically travel there. Once your record is cleared in the national database (the Problem Driver Pointer System), you may apply for a Nevada driver's license.
If your license is suspended or revoked in Nevada and you have left the state, contact us for reinstatement requirements. In many cases, we can send you a clearance letter by mail. Suspensions and revocations which originate in Nevada are assigned to a case worker in the DMV Driver License Review Section. Call, write, or e-mail your request for information on obtaining a clearance letter providing with your name and Nevada driver's license and/or Identification Number:
DMV Driver License Review
555 Wright Way
Carson City, NV 89711-0400
(775) 684-4368 option 6
If you are required to maintain an SR-22 filing as a condition of your reinstatement, it must be maintained for three years from the date you reinstate your driver license.
