text: Sounds like you are fine, since the state you live in should be where you hold a valid lisence.  If you ever go to switch your licence back to CA, I think you are going to have problems and are going to need to provide the SR-22, And if you get stopped driving in CA you might have problems.\n\n  When you get a DUI on a out of state licence the state will not take your lisence on the spot like getting a DUI in most same states as your licence is issued in.  You would go through the penial penalties in the state you were caught in through the courts system, and that state transfers the info to your ID issuing state, and it is up to that states laws weather they implament the D.M.V(M.V.A) penalties like licence revoketion, or suspention.  The SR22 is just a insurance thing, and if you ever get your licence changed to CA you will need to deal with it, under a CA insurance issuer.  If it is something you want to try and clear up now, ask your Insurance company if they will give you a SR22 for your home state, then just send it to CA.  Tell them you need it for work or something stupid like that.
