You can move, but you may have difficulty getting a drivers' license in Colorado since your license is suspended in Michigan.

I would think you would want to take care of it here as Colorado will tend to defer to Michigan.

Your question is confusing. If you cannot get it back here then it could be harder to get it back in another state. I suggest you consult an attorney to work with you and DMV to find out what you need to do to get it back. Attorneys who practice DUI defense or even a former DUI prosecutor should know how to help you with this. This response is not legal advice. It does not create an attorney-client relationship.

You can just move, you just can't drive.

If the DUI isn't dealt with, your license will forever be suspended in the USA, in any state.
