Does Georgia share driving records with other states?
I was pulled over while driving through Georgia, and I’m worried I might see the ticket on my driving record. Will my tickets follow me home from Georgia?

Georgia
is one of the few states that does not share driving records with other states. They do not participate in the Driver's License Compact (DLC).The DLC is an interstate agreement where states exchange information regarding traffic offenses and license suspensions: If a driver commits a traffic violation in another state, it will be reported to the state where their driver’s license is valid, and they will be punished as if it happened in the driver's home state.
Other states that do not participate in the DLC include:
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Tennessee
- Wisconsin
Keep in mind: The states mentioned above might not be members of the DLC, but they can share information through a different type of agreement. For example, Massachusetts shares information through the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) rather than the DLC.
The bottom line: You might be able to avoid an increase in your insurance rates if you get a ticket in Georgia, but it’s not a get-out-of-jail-free card. Once your ticket from Georgia is past due, you can get into legal trouble in your home state for not paying the fine.
