Normally one must get their license reinstated in the state that the motorist was previously licensed in before applying for and being issued a new driver's license in a new state. If your license is suspended or revoked it should show up in the National Driver Register (NDR) that state Department of Motor Vehicles check when a person applies for a license.

The NDR is a central database of information on problems drivers, meaning motorists, whose license is revoked, suspended, canceled or denied or has been convicted of a serious traffic related offense. All 51 US jurisdictions provide information to the NDR and can search the database for information on drivers applying for a driver's license.
