Q: Was a resident of Alabama, Got a dui. Moved to FL while court date was pending and got a FL License.

Got the sentence to lose my license for 90 days. My 90 days is up now so I checked my status and it said that my FL license wasn't suspended. What do I do? Did someone mess up?

It appears that someone did mess up, because a suspension in any other state is a suspension in FL. I do not know that you have to do anything, but I could be wrong.
