Because you were arrested for DUI in California with an out of state license, you will face criminal court procedures in California. You will also face a DMV hearing in California regarding your driving privileges, but not your driver's license. California law enforcement does not have the authority to confiscate, suspend or revoke you're out of state license. Your privilege to drive in California, however, may be suspended or revoked. Additionally, if you are convicted of DUI or your driving privileges are suspended, the California Department of Motor Vehicles will report your offense to the proper authority in your state and this may result in the suspension or revocation of your home state driver's license as well.
