Q: is my drivers license no longer suspended after paying an old speeding ticket
my drivers license in nevada was suspended after not paying a speeding ticket i got in 2013. today i paid the ticket and it’s now paid off and no longer in warrant status. i now live in utah, after taking care of the ticket today is my license no longer suspended? i know i need to get my license here in utah i just need to know if there is any specific steps i need to take before i am able to go take the driving test and get my license? like a license reinstatement fee or something?
A:
You will need to have your driving "privilege" reinstated in Nevada which will involve paying the reinstatement fee. Once your privilege has been restored in Nevada, you may apply for your Utah license.
Having lived in both states and dealt with both motor vehicle departments I can tell you that the worst part, by far, will be getting things settled with Nevada. Once that is taken care of, the MVD in Purgatory is a breeze.
