It’s unlikely. But, the answer depends on the severity of the circumstances involving your warrant, as well as how the driver’s license division of your new state views your warrant.

All states belong to the National Driver Registry (NDR) that allows them to electronically share information about drivers with revoked or suspended licenses, or who are guilty of driving while impaired or other serious moving violations. Before issuing a license, each state is required to check the NDR for any possible red flags about the applicant.

If you have a warrant, it should appear in the NDR. If it’s a misdemeanor warrant, your new state might issue you a license. But, again, that’s up to the discretion of the driver license division.
