The full faith and credit clause of Article IV, Section 1 requires that each state must recognize, honor, and enforce the legal judgments and public records of other states. This means, for example, that a marriage or a driver's license obtained in one state must be recognized and honored by all other states. It also means that state courts must enforce the judgments of other state courts, and that a judgment in one state can be used as the basis for a lawsuit in another state.
