Using License From Another State During Period of Revocation

My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: North Carolina

I use to live in NC before moving to Utah. While visiting NC for a few weeks, I was pulled over doing 91 in a 60. The attorney I got convinced the judge to revoke my license instead of a fine. Since I was living in Utah anyway, I thought that was the best idea. Anyway, I got pulled over in December and the license wasn't formally revoked until May. Now me and my ex have broken up and I'm moving back to NC. I have a valid Utah license. Will that work until next May when my NC license is no longer revoked? Is there any way I can reinstate my NC license before then? Maybe go back to court and pay the fine instead. I don't know what to do!

THank you!
Dion

Check with the NC DMV to see about your current status. Probably it was just suspended and you can pay a reinstatement fee.

Typically, you have 30 days upon moving into a jurisdiction before you need to renew your license.

Having a license from Utah does not relieve you from a North Carolina driver's license suspension. Until your suspension is lifted or expires, you're suspended in North Carolina.
