What most people don't realize is that virtually all of the states share information about license revocations and/or suspensions. This is part of what is known as the "interstate compact", which is an agreement between the states. Consequently, if someone applies apply for a license in another state, their revocation/suspension in the first state will be turn up since the national database will share their driving information.
