Thank you for asking Ferdinand.

Generally you are not allowed you to have driver’s licenses from more than one state at the same time. Indiana requires when you obtain an IN driver’s license, for you to forfeit the license from the previous US state in which you had lived. Arizona likely has a similar rule, so having 2 licenses at the same time could get you in trouble.

If both license from the two states are valid, both Indiana and Arizona are members of the Drivers License Compact so that means out of state violations would be reported to your “home” state’s licensing authority.

Your DUI is also very likely listed is the National Driver Register (NDR), which all states provide information to. The NDR is a central database of information on all problem drivers with traffic violations. Problem drivers here are defined as though whose license has been suspended, revoked, canceled or denied or have been convicted of a serious traffic related offense (such as driving under the influence).

Goodluck!
