Legal Question in DUI Law in Washington

Re: state to state

Yes, DUI's transfer state to state. However, to know about your prior the court will need access to interstate records. While constantly improving due to internet and computer connection, some states still are not aware of other state charges. You have no duty or obligation to let them know of your out of state conviction. There is a statute of limitations on DUI's. In Washington the SOL is three years. This can vary state to state. Just so we are clear, a statute of limitations is how long a prosecuting body has to bring charges against you before they are barred from bring the charges against you because it is too old. There is no outside limit on how long prior bad history can be considered against you unless specified by statute. I believe the law in Washington is any prior DUI within 10 years counts against you but I would need to double check that.
