Q: How do I reinstate a license if I have a new license in another state?
I got a DUI in Washington State in June 2021. I requested a licensing hearing per the advice of my lawyer, so my license was not officially suspended until 9/27/21. In the meantime, I relocated to my home state of FL and obtained a license here on 8/27/21. I just checked, and my license is valid in FL. I know that license suspensions carry over from state to state, but how do I go about reinstating when the time comes if I no longer have a WA license? What would happen if I got pulled over in FL? Would they be able to see the WA suspension?
A: You probably should ask that question of the lawyer who advised you to request a licensing hearing in Washington.
