Question: Does a DUI count as a second one if I got my first one in another state?
Question Detail: If I get a DUI out of state, does it count as a 2nd DUI if I got one 12 years ago?

A “first” DUI in a one state does count as a “second” DUI if the “first” DUI happened in another state.  Make sense?  Truth is that if the prosecutor can prove the previous DUI in another state did occur (ie. a certified copy of the final judgment) then the “new” DUI is counted as a second.  However, for sentencing purposes (where penalties are enhanced) the two DUI cases must occur within a seven year period.
