No, it is not possible to obtain a driver's license in Nevada if you have a license that is currently suspended in Utah.

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles states that no state may issue a driver license if there is an active suspension or revocation in any other state. License suspension and revocation information is shared with all 50 states. If your suspension or revocation originated in another state, you must follow that state's reinstatement procedures.

All 51 U.S. driver license jurisdictions share information on suspensions, revocations, cancellations, denials and serious traffic violations through the National Driver Registry, the Problem Driver Pointer System and for commercial license holders, the Commercial Driver License Information System.

A suspension or revocation must be cleared by the state which originated it. There is no time limit or statute of limitations on how long an active suspension or revocation remains listed and in effect.

If your license is suspended or revoked in another state, you must follow that state's reinstatement procedures. In fact the NV DMV notes that there is no need to contact the Nevada DMV until you have completed the process. Most states will issue a clearance letter and you will not have to physically travel there. Once you have a clearance, you may apply for a Nevada license.

When you have cleared up your suspension in Utah and have had that driver's license reinstated so that you can apply for a Nevada license keep the following in mind.

In Nevada all drivers who currently hold a valid U.S. license must take the vision test. Drivers under the age of 25 are required to take the vision and knowledge tests. Additionally, transferring drivers will be required to take the knowledge and skills tests if any of the following conditions exist:

• Applying for a different type or class of license.
• 3 or more convictions of moving violations in the past 4 years.
• driver's license or privilege to drive suspended, revoked, cancelled, or otherwise disqualified during the past 4 years.
• a DUI conviction (drug- and/or alcohol-related offense) within the past 7 years.
• any license restrictions which must be reevaluated to ensure the driver has the ability to drive safely.
