My brother used to live in Michigan and still has a michigan CPL. He now lives in Wyoming and today after getting pulled over a Wyoming cop ran his papers and said Michigan is claiming he doesn't have a CPL. I know its still valid is there some reason they could have revoked it without his knowledge?
I am wondering if his moving west and switching his drivers license made them revoke his license. Does michigan cancel a CPL if the licensee moves out of the state ? |

If his license expired and he didn't renew it, they may have pulled his CPL as he is no longer a resident, but I'm not sure this is the case. I do know for sure that once you move out of state your MI cpl is nulled, you need to get one from your state of res. So if he got a WY license they probably reported to MI and they whacked his license and CPL. Best bet to get a WY CCW.

Jeff It didn't expire but he did move out of state and switched his driver license. According to the license he still has a couple of years left on it. Hes not eligible for a WY CCW until he's here 6 months. |

As soon as he got one in another state, his MI DL was revoked, including the CPL that's attached to it. MI doesn't issue non-resident CPL's like some states do, therefore you must be a MI resident in order to have a MI CPL. Tell him to look into getting a UT CPL in the mean-time. Non-residents can still get those I think, and they're good in several states. |

I knew they didn't offer out of state CPL's but I didn't realize they would revoke already issued permits because someone left. Its good to know. It would be nice if they would send out a letter or made some effort to let people know they revoked their permit. If the cop wasn't a nice guy and gave my brother a break he could be in jail right now. |

The MI CPL is attached to the DL through the Sec. of State computers (DMV), so they take the fact that he got a DL from another state as proof of no longer being a resident, which makes the CPL automatically void. That's one of the reasons why it makes sense to get a CPL from a state like Utah that issues to non-residents. That way if you are moving you still have some continuity, since most states want to to be a resident for a ridiculously long time before applying for their CPL. Glad he didn't get hooked up. |
