What will happen if I have a DWI from a year ago and now I’m moving to another state but I still have to pay fines and have an interlock device installed?
I’m eligible to get my license back once I’ve paid the fines and installed the interlock device. If I moved out of state, would anything change or would I still have to do the breathalyzer and pay fines?

You are still bound by any conditions of your probation or plea bargain terms until your case is completely closed out. Before you move, however, you may want to consider consultin with an attorney that routinely handles DUI's in the state you are moving to. Even though you are about to get your license back in your current state, the requirements in the new state could be more stringent....meaning you might have to wait even longer for a license. You just need to know what you are walking into, so you can change or confirm your plans as needed.
