CONVICTION OF OR JUDGMENT AGAINST RESIDENT IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION (§ 46.2-434)

The Commissioner shall suspend or revoke the license and registration
certificate and plates of any resident of the Commonwealth upon receiving notice
of his conviction, in a court of competent jurisdiction of the Commonwealth, any
other state of the United States, the United States, Canada or its provinces or
any territorial subdivision of such state or country, of an offense therein
which, if committed in the Commonwealth, would be grounds for the suspension or
revocation of the license granted to him or registration of any motor vehicle
registered in his name. No suspension or revocation under this subsection shall
continue for a longer period than it would have, had the offense been committed
in the Commonwealth, provided the person gives proof of his financial
responsibility in the future for the period provided in § 46.2-412.The
Commissioner shall take like action upon receipt of notice that a resident of
the Commonwealth has failed, for a period of thirty days, to satisfy any final
judgment in amount and upon a cause of action as stated herein, rendered against
him in a court of competent jurisdiction of any other state of the United
States, the United States, Canada or its provinces, or any territorial
subdivision of such state or country.
