If you are arrested for DUI or DWI in Nevada, with an out-of-state driver’s license, this can still affect your driving privileges in your home state.

*If you did a breathalyzer test, you have SEVEN DAYS to contact the DMV to request a hearing. Even though your license is from another state, the Nevada DMV will contact your home state DMV and put a Hold on your license. This means that if you or your attorney do not contact the Nevada DMV and request a hearing, your out-of-state driver’s license will be suspended. This DMV request will allow you to continue driving until the DMV Hearing is completed and the Administrative Law Judge has made a decision regarding the suspension of your driving privileges in the state of Nevada, or the removal of the Hold from your out-of-state license.

*If you were given a blood test, it takes approximately 30-45 days for the blood test results to come back. After the blood test results have been determined, DMV will send you a letter informing you that your driving privileges will be suspended for a 90 day period in Nevada. The Nevada DMV will also notify the DMV in your home state, and they will put a Hold on your license in that state. Once the Nevada DMV has sent you the notification of the license suspension, you must request a DMV hearing at the Nevada DMV. This DMV request will allow you to continue driving until the DMV Hearing is completed and the Administrative Law Judge has made a decision regarding the suspension of your driving privileges in the state of Nevada, or the removal of the Hold from your out-of-state license.
