Interstate Driver's License Compact

Interstate Driver License Compact

Florida Interstate Driver License Compact Attorney

The Interstate Driver License Compact is an agreement between states including Florida that governs how information is shared for various types of traffic convictions. The traffic infractions covered by the Interstate Driver License Compact include everything from criminal traffic offenses such as DUI and reckless driving to civil infractions such as speeding and other moving violations. Under the Interstate License Compact the records for traffic infractions and suspensions are sent to the home state of the nonresident. The home state could then treat the traffic offense as if it had occurred in the home state and apply the laws of the home state to the traffic offense that was committed out of state.

Several states are not included in the Interstate Driver License Compact including Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan and Tennessee. Tennessee dropped out of the Interstate Driver License Compact in 1997.

States also supply information to the National Driver Register which is a comprehensive database for driving offense records concerning drivers who have revoked or suspended driver licenses due to serious traffic offenses such as DUI, reckless driving, vehicular manslaughter. Information in the National Driver Register can be used by the State of Florida to deny someone applying for a driver's license in Florida.
