When you refer to the term "sovereign" I am assuming that this individual is part of a political body with the power to make and enforce laws and you want to know if this person is exempt or immuned because of his/her vested power or authority as a public official. The answer to your question is "No!"
All unique rights of sovereighty are passed on to the states and its agencies to carry out it official functions for the public benefit and the safety of its citizens--not to individuals! As such, a license to drive is a law that was passed by a sovereign body. It is a enforcable law that is supported by state statute. It is not a right or immunity that can be possessed by ANY private person.
Some people claim that Americans are entitled to "sovereign" status that exempts them from general laws -- in particular, the requirement to pay taxes. This is nonsense. There is no such status, and there is no way to become exempt from any laws. That includes the laws which require a license in order to drive a car.
