I have been living in VA for 20 years. I had 3 DUI’s 24 years ago in NC. Now NC wants VA to suspend my license. Is this legal?

Whether or not your former home state of North Carolina can push your current state of residency Virginia to suspend your driver's license in Virginia remains to be seen. Your question pertains to more of an administrative proceeding between two governmental entities and what they decide to do with each other.
It seems to me that for the state of North Carolina to want the state of Virginia to suspend your driver's license in that state for aged driving under the influence convictions more than 24 years old may be time barred even if there is a process to do what is wanted to be done. I suggest that you consult with an attorney experienced with driving privileges suspensions.
Good luck.
