If you live out-of-state and have been arrested or convicted for a DUI in Arizona, you will still be able to drive outside Arizona until notified by your home state that your driver’s license has been suspended. U.S. states subscribe to a centralized database that keeps track of driving records nationwide. Therefore, once your state gets word of your DUI, they will revoke your driving privileges. This usually takes several weeks.

If you are relocating out-of-state and have appealed your DUI charge, you may be able to obtain an out-of-state driver’s license prior to the settlement of your case. Expect to go through a lot of red tape.
