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?

You are right, your boyfriend is wrong. It is not a driver's LICENSE which is suspended, it is the driving PRIVILEGE, and it is suspended in any state in which the privilege is suspended for the same type of offense (which means every US State for a DUI).
Moreover, when he got his MN license, his ILL license was cancelled. If he got a MN license without revealing that he had an ILL license, he also committed perjury in his license application.

You are very much correct and hopefully your boyfriend listens to you next time. He made a very bad decision and if he’s caught driving on a suspended license, he risks very serious consequences, including revocation of his driving privileges.
A person can only have one valid driver's license at a time, so I'm surprised he didn't have to surrender his IL license when he received his MN license. He can be charged with having multiple drivers’ licenses.
When a person's driver’s license is suspended in one state, their license is suspended in all the other States. Its called reciprocity. Blame it on the Federal Government. They threaten any State that doesn’t follow their rules with withholding highway funds.

There is a law of reciprocity where states share driving information to other states. He will now be suspended in IL just as he is in MN. They made it illegal years ago to stop people from losing their license in one state and then going and getting another license in an adjoining state.
He will be setting himself up for trouble if he thinks he is good to go with the IL license.

If he moved from IL to MN and got an MN driver's license, then IL canceled his license and shows that he surrendered it when he got his new license. He cannot legally drive anywhere.

once you notice for a license in yet another state, the license interior the 1st state is immediately invalidated. you won't be able to hold licenses in 2 states. He would not have a valid motive force's license. although, via fact he did no longer turn in his Illinois license, if he did no longer checklist it to MN whilst he utilized for the license there, that's achieveable Illinois is unaware that he had a MN license. (i'm uncertain if those 2 states reciprocate information.) the two way, if he have been to get stopped for any extreme offense, they might in all probability parent it out and additionally charge him with driving on a suspended license.

To gain a licence in one state shows that one's privilage to drive is no longer in the state he moved out of. I think about the DUI depends on the states. IL will not allow him to drive.

I would imagine that if you are banned in one place then you are banned everywhere.
Which means you are right!
