Driving is a privilege in the United States. It is not a right as many people think. With that, the state that issues your drivers license owns your license and they have the ability to suspend or revoke it. If you are charged with a DUI in Maryland you can have your driving privileges suspended in Maryland. The state of Maryland does not have the authority to suspend your license in your home state. However, once Maryland relays the DUI conviction to your home state, their Department of Motor Vehicles or Motor Vehicle Administration reserves the right to suspend your license.

Interstate Drivers License Compact

The severity and impact of your DUI charge on your driving privileges in your home state primarily depends on whether or not that state is party to Interstate Drivers License Compact (IDLC). The Interstate Drivers License Compact is an agreement between most states to share information about Drunk Driving charges, Drugged Driving charges, and other traffic offenses. However, if you reside in one of these states and are convicted of a DUI they have the right to suspend your license if they are aware of the conviction.

States Not Party to Interstate Drivers License Compact

The following states do not acknowledge the IDLC:
