What to do if my license is blocked license but I now live in another state?
My license has a hold but I now live in a different state. I went to get my license in my current state and was told about the hold in my former state of residence. How can I get the block off my license there; it was revoked 10 years ago and I moved. Do I have to go back to deal with it?

Yes, you unfortunately have to go back to your former state to deal with this. Every state will honor each other's supsensions, revocations, etc. of driver's licenses, so your new state will not grant you a license while it is blocked in your old state. And your state has no power to change the ruling from your old state: you have to deal with it back in the old state.
