Out-of-State License? Here’s What a Florida DUI Means for You

If you’re an out-of-state student convicted of a DUI in Florida, you must complete your DUI courses and other legal requirements in Florida or through approved Florida programs.

Your home state will be notified, potentially resulting in separate penalties there.

Important Considerations:

Interstate Compact: Almost all states participate in the DLC, meaning your DUI conviction follows you home.

Insurance: Work with an agent experienced with multi-state DUI scenarios (like FR44 & SR22 Insurance Experts) to handle these complexities properly.

In short:

  • You must deal with two sets of rules—Florida’s penalties and your home state's license reinstatement requirements.
  • Always clarify with both states' DMVs and courts to avoid misunderstandings.
