Out-of-State Driver License

Out-of-State Driver License 1. An applicant who possesses a driver license by another jurisdiction cannot be issued a Mississippi driver license unless the applicant surrenders such license. 2. If the applicant does not have said driver license in his/her immediate possession, he must complete an Affidavit of Inability to Surrender Driver License. The affidavit will serve as notice to the department that the applicant has surrendered his license. The license must be valid and clear of any suspensions, partial suspensions or revocations and verified through the Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS) and the NCIC. The affidavit must accompany the driver license application when the examiner submits the reports. 3. Clearance letters will no longer be required if they do not have possession of a license unless it is a commercial driver license. 4. Applicant will NOT have to take the standard test if they possess a valid out-of-state driver license. If the license has been expired for over 30 days, they will be required to take the test.
