Non-Resident Violator Compact • National Driver License Compact

Non-Resident Violator Compact

This American agreement comes into play when a driver receives and does not pay for an out of state ticket. If both states have signed the compact the driver may face suspension of his driver's license until s/he takes care of the ticket.

At the time of this writing and to the best of our knowledge the only states which are not members of the compact are:

Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin.

This does not mean that those states will not penalize their driver's for out of state tickets. If you have a license in one of those states or a Canadian Province, you may want to check with the Motor Vehicle Office which controls your license.
