FAQ
If you are driving, then you always need to carry a driver's license while operating a vehicle. Therefore, if you are moving between states by driving, you will need to have your license. However, the driver's license is not necessary to the right to travel.
There is no explicit or enumerated right to travel in the US Constitution. It is, however, considered to be a Ninth Amendment right, similar to the right to vote and the former right to abortion.

357 U. S. 117-130. (a) The right to travel is a part of the "liberty" of which a citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment. Pp. 357 U. S. 125-127.
It's a little more complex than that. The Supreme Court has ruled that there is a fundamental right to travel between the states, and you do not need a drivers license to do so.
Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
Is it constitutional for the government to require a license to drive? There's nothing in the US Constitution giving the Federal government any right to license drivers.
