Actually, virtually all states share information about license revocations/suspensions. This is done via something known as the "Interstate Driver's License Compact". Therefore, if you apply for a license in another state, the revocation in the first state will be found due to the sharing of information via a centralized national database. Here is a link to a site that will provide further information:
