If you're licensed out of state and have had your driving privilege in North Carolina suspended because of a Failure to Appear matter, you likely need to have that privilege reinstated to remove the "hold" on your out of state license. Just because you are in possession of a physical license, your right to drive can still be revoked. Call the NC DMV's automated system at (919) 715-7000 to confirm your right to drive if you have any questions. Note, we are North Carolina attorneys and do not practice law in the 49 other states. Please consult an attorney in your state or your states DMV to confirm what is necessary.
Once you've paid your reinstatement fee, you will need to request a new copy of your license either on the DMV website or by visiting your local DMV licensing office.
For more information, please visit the NC DMV Website or call the NC DMV at (919) 715-7000 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
