Yes it does. The Interstate Driver's License Compact is an agreement between 45 participating states (North Carolina among them) to share information regarding certain types of convictions, including Drunk Driving (DUI and DWI) convictions.
Because of the Compact, if a resident of one state gets convicted of a drunk driving offense in another state, the driver's home state will be advised. The type of action that the driver's home state will take will vary from state to state.
