Out of State DUI Penalties and License Suspension

Georgia law enforcement has no jurisdiction or right to confiscate a driver’s license which was issued in another state. They can, however, suspend or revoke a person’s driving privileges within Georgia and inform his/her home state of the DUI arrest and conviction. The person’s home state will then most likely suspend his/her driver’s license.

Additional penalties for an out of state DUI conviction include: jail time, fines, community service, probation and more.
