Hello!

the full faith and credit clause explains the fact that states within the United States have to respect the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state.

for example, if someone has a driver's license in Vermont, it will be considered valid in new mexico.

or if someone were to get married in California, they would still be married if they move to Virginia.

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
