Best Answer

A compact state is a state that recognizes your license and you do not have to get a new license in that state. Example: You get a license in Illinois to practice nursing, but now want to move to Michigan, which is not a compact state, you have to get licensed all over again in Michigan now. Hope that helped!

Do traffic violation points inter state?

It depends upon the states involved and whether they belong to the Interstate Drivers License Compact and/or the Interstate Nonresident Violator Compact. The Drivers License Compact consists of 45 states and the District of Columbia. States not included are Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The states in this compact exchange information on moving violations committed by nonresidents with the state where the driver resides, so that that information can be added to the record of the driver. Thus your out of state moving violation will appear on your driving record just as if it had occurred within your own state. In addition your state would probably add licensing and insurance points to your record. The Nonresident Violator Compact presently it consists of 44 states and the District of Columbia. States not included are Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon and Wisconsin. This compact assures nonresident drivers accused of moving violations certain rights, such as freedom from being detained in the other state; however it also requires drivers to fulfill the terms of traffic citations received in member states or face the possibility of license suspension in their home state. If you fail to pay whatever fine is imposed in the other state, that state will notify your home state and your home state will revoke your license unless you take care of the out of state ticket properly. Note that the member states of one compact are not necessarily members of the other compact
