okay, please settle this fight between my boyfriend and i.
he lived in illinois where he had a valid drivers license
he moved to MN where he was pulled over for a DUI and his license in MN is revoked.
he thinks that because he stil has his ill license he can legally drive in illinois- is this right?
i say that he cannot because you are not to carry more then one drivers license at a time- so once he got his mn license in my eyes his illinois license became invalid. also, i say if you lose your license for DUI in one state you shouldnt be able to drive in any state.
someone help?

I belive those states have retroprositiy so no he shouldn't be driving. And it is illegal to carry DLs in two differnt states.

When you apply for a license in another state, the license in the first state is automatically invalidated. You cannot hold licenses in two states. He does not have a valid driver's license.
However, since he did not turn in his Illinois license, if he didn't report it to MN when he applied for the license there, it is possible Illinois is unaware that he had a MN license. (I'm not sure if those two states reciprocate information.) Either way, if he were to get stopped for any serious offense, they would probably figure it out and also charge him with driving on a suspended license.

Yeah...when you apply for a license in a new state, it invalidates the old license. He's just looking for an excuse and it's not going to work. How does he still have his Illinois license?

Not sure how it works in the States but the punishment for drink driving is a ban from driving within the jurisdiction of law which was broken and the enforcing court. Possessing another licence cannot invalidate the ban.

you're very lots maximum suitable and optimistically your boyfriend listens to you next time. He made an rather undesirable decision and if he’s caught driving on a suspended license, he risks very extreme effects, alongside with revocation of his driving privileges. a guy or woman can in basic terms have one valid motive force's license at a time, so i'm stunned he did no longer would desire to resign his IL license whilst he gained his MN license. He could be charged with having assorted drivers’ licenses. whilst a guy or woman's motive force’s license is suspended in a single state, their license is suspended in all the different States. Its observed as reciprocity. Blame it on the federal government. They threaten any State that doesn’t save on with their regulations with withholding street money.

you are not allowed to carry two licences - the MN drivers facility actually should have taken his IL licence and cut it up. A DUI is a serious charge, if he doesn't want to get arrested next time he gets pulled over, he shouldn't be driving.
And please, if not for his safety but for the innocent people out there - don't let him drink & drive.

If he moved to MN and he's living there now, then he's not allowed to have the IL liscense at all. If he's claimed residency in MN, the illinois liscense is invalid.

I don't know I'm afraid - in the UK it's one licence for all!
I would imagine if you've been nicked for DUI, then your licence is revoked everywhere.
Hope you find out before he gets arrested for driving illegally - if it is illegal!
