I don't know about every state, but when I moved from MA to NC this past year
and got a NC license, one of the questions the DMV asked was whether I had ever
held a license in NC before.  Of course, you could always lie about this, but
the red tape might eventually unwind.  Then they could punish you for 
falsifying your application.  It wouldn't be too hard for them to run a routine
check on your name or (especially) your Social Security Number and thus nab
you.
