States do NOT give full faith and credit to citizens of other states. What would that even mean? That they would consider them as their own citizens? States give full faith and credit to other states' public acts, records, and judicial proceedings. Each state must consider a public act done in another state as if it were done locally; it must trust the records of another state as it trusts its own; and it must accept the judicial proceedings of other states as it accepts its own. Congress sets the precise terms under which states must accept these things. Note that if a public act in one state would not be valid in another state, that state need not accept it; for instance if a state does not allow cousins to marry each other, then it need not recognise as married a pair of cousins who got married in another state.
Full faith and credit is given to citizens of other states in marriage licenses, drivers' licenses, as well as handicap parking permits. This means, for example, that a couple married in Texas is generally recognized as married in Georgia as well.

The constitution says that "full faith and credit" shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. Thus each state must recognize, for example, a car registration issued in another state. This clause applies only to civil law, or laws relating to disputes between individuals, groups, or with the state.
