If My New York State Drivers License is supsended, can I still get a license in North Carolina?

NO you cannot. they will check your driving record before issuing you a license. It will be easier to clear it up in NEw York than in a different state so put it on your to do list before you leave..

No. My brother lived in Denver when his license was suspended (he didn't know) and when he moved back to Chicago and tried to renew his Illinois license he found out Denver suspended his driver's license. He had to fly back to Denver to clear it.

Well, for example if I live in New York state and I get my license suspended, I can't drive in New York State or out of state, because New York state is where my drivers license was issued. To apply for a drivers license in North Carolina you need to go to a DMV in the state and apply for one. You will also need a North Carolina state drivers license. From NCDOT on how to get a NC drivers license: "To receive an original driver license in North Carolina, you must bring at least two acceptable forms of ID; one must reflect your full name and date of birth to the Driver License Examiner. You must complete and pass the written, sign, and vision tests. If you surrender a valid license from another state, the road test requirement is at the discretion of the Examiner. Proof of residency, liability insurance on your car and Social Security Number (or a valid Visa issued by a US Government Agency if SSN not authorized) are required. See the following link for more specific documentation"

Go, I hope not. Think of the implications. A person has their licsence suspended in NY for driving drunk and then they move to another state and get a new liscence???
