What Your Report Shows
At the top of the report you’ll see your name, date of birth, license number, license status, and issue and expiration dates. Below that, each traffic conviction is listed with its citation number, date, location, and the points assessed. A three-year record is enough for a quick snapshot of where you stand today. A seven-year or complete record is more useful if you’ve had past suspensions or need the report for an employer or insurance company.
Points stay on your record for at least five years from the conviction date, so older violations can still appear on a complete report even when they no longer count toward a suspension window.3Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Points and Point Suspensions If something on the report looks wrong, such as a conviction you already resolved or points tied to the wrong license number, contact FLHSMV directly to request a correction.
How Many Points Cause a License Suspension
The main reason to check is to see how close you are to a suspension. Florida tracks your points on a rolling basis across three windows, and hitting any one of them triggers a suspension:4Online Sunshine. Florida Statutes 322.27 – Authority of Department to Suspend or Revoke License
- 12 points in 12 months: suspension for up to 30 days.
- 18 points in 18 months: suspension for up to 3 months.
- 24 points in 36 months: suspension for up to 1 year.
Points that trigger one window still count toward the longer ones. Individual moving violations run from 3 to 6 points depending on the offense, so a driver with a couple of tickets in a single year can be closer to 12 points than they’d guess. That’s the case for pulling your record now rather than waiting for a notice from the state.
