Can I Transfer My DUI Classes From California To Another State?

If you are ordered by a court in California to take DUI classes then most courts would allow you to take comparable DUI classes in another state. First, you must add your case onto the calendar in the court where your case was heard to get permission from the Judge to take the classes in the other state and the Judge must also approve the classes you intend to take. Also, if you already completed a portion of your classes in California it would be up to the program provider in the receiving state whether to give you credit for the portion of classes that you completed. Finally, you must understand that the California DMV will NOT recognize ANY out of state DUI classes and therefore will not reinstate your California license unless and until you complete the California DUI program. You can, however, ask the DMV to allow you to waive your privilege to drive in California for 3 years to get around the requirement of completing the DUI program in California and doing that can lift any hold on your license.
