Information About

Non-resident Violator Compact




Motorists cited for violations in a state that is not a member of the NRVC must post bail before being allowed to proceed.

When a motorists is cited in another member state and chooses not to respond to the ticket such as not paying it, the other state notifies the driver's home state and the home state will suspend the driver's license until the driver takes care of the matter in the other state.

There are certain offenses where the Non-Resident Violator Compact does not apply. Those offenses are registration, weight limit and parking. Some states will not take action on offenses like vehicle equipment and vehicle inspection if their driver has ignored an out of state citation of those offenses. Out of state moving violations is the focus of the compact. Under the Driver License Agreement , these protections are no longer there.


HISTORY


The Non-Resident Violator Compact came into existence in the 1970s, originating from the northeastern states.

The Non-Resident Violator Compact is being superseded by the new Driver License Agreement (DLA) which also replaces the Driver License Compact. As planned by the AAMVA, when the Driver License Agreement is ratified by Non-Resident Violator Compact members, it will be no longer relevant.
