If your license was suspended in Oregon can you legally drive in the State of Washington where you live?

You can only possess a licence in the state which you are a resident of. First off. Georgia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Michigan, Tennessee, and Nevada aren't part of the Driver Licence Compact, and it might be possible to get a licence in those states if you first establish residence in those states. However, the odds of this are a bit unlikely - even though they are not members, they still share DMV information with other states.. And even if you did get a licence in that state, it would only be valid within the state of issue - the moment you cross a state line, it's treated as if you were driving on a suspended licence.

How long does a misdemeanor stay on your record in Indiana?

Indiana, misdemeanors are usually able to be expunged from public viewing, Ie if a criminal background check is done, and you get a lawyer or petition the courts, most misdemeanors will be sealed from public. Although no conviction is truly erased from the states criminal database. A lawyer to do this will run 500 to 1,000 usd. Your cost of petitioning the courts yourself will cost nothing, but with a lawyer , the rate of expunging is higher. Good luck, also usually wouldn't even attempt until your probation is completed satisfactory , and 1 year time has lapsed with no other charges. Will be a waste of time if this happens.
