I have referred a cousin of mine in this situation to an attorney regarding this question but am curious as to the answer if someone here on Y!A knows it. There is the National Driver Register which tracks tickets and states can share information between them. But does revocation of a driver's license in 1 state automatically mean revocation in ALL states?
Of course there are alternatives like public transportation, car-pooling, taxis, bicycles, etc. But geographicly speaking, most areas of the US do not have ample public transportation or cost-effective taxis and having independant transportation, such as a car, becomes an economic necessity to get to work and to be employable for many jobs.
Are some states better than others when it comes to getting a driver's license? This is for a U.S. Citizen, not an illegal alien.
Or is the answer just to give up on the US and move to another country?
I am looking for rational, considerate answers, & not judgements or assumptions.

I am also aware of Hardship licenses but these, I believe, are temporary...like perhaps for 1.5 years...correct? They are also very expensive as is the insurance that goes with them. Please correct me if they are NOT temporary, or if there is a better alternative not mentioned herein.

Yes you can. Unless its a felony, like owing lots of childsupport. All you need is an adress. Im in Texas and If I go to New Mexico all I need is a P.O. Box. If you have warrents in one state the other one wont take you in.

It may be possible but not very likely. Most states have reciprocal agreements for licenses as well as tickets. In order to obtain a license you have to have a valid address in that state. Whether they would check your driving record nationally or not is something that you'd have to try in order to find out for sure. With the computer data bases today it may be that they do run the name before issuing a license but you never know until you try.

Only by committing fraud.
Every state drivers license application has a box on it that asks you if your license is revoked or suspended in another state. Plus they all ask for your SSN.
Tell your cousin to start packing.

(a million) 2 DUI. (2) Statewide warrant and you opt to get him a license? For his very own secure practices, you will desire to save him from using. You particularly can't save him from eating. Be a real chum. good success...

Legally, I don't think that you can. At least until the time has expired and the person is eligible to reinstate his license in his home state.
He may get away with it, but if he does get caught, then that would only increase the time that his license is suspended.
good luck

not all 50 states are part of the Registry. In fact, I believe only 36 of them are. Call your local DMV and ask. If not, any lawyer who handles traffic violations would (or at least should) know.
