Maryland Driver's License Points Calculator

Select the violations you have (or are considering) and we'll estimate your total points and the MVA action that might apply.

Important: This is an estimate. Points are only added if you are CONVICTED (paying a fine or being found guilty at trial). Camera tickets do NOT add points. To see your real point total, check your driving record at mva.maryland.gov. CitationFinder MD is not a law firm.

How Maryland's point system works

Maryland tracks points within a 2-year window. Points stop being "current" 2 years after the violation date. The MVA takes different actions based on your current total:

0-2 points

No MVA action.

3-4 points

Warning letter from MVA.

5-7 points

Required to enroll in a Driver Improvement Program (DIP).

8-11 points

Notice of Suspension. License may be suspended.

12+ points

Notice of Revocation. License will be revoked.

Frequently asked

Do camera tickets add points?

No. Maryland speed cameras, red light cameras, and school bus cameras issue civil citations that don't add MVA points to your driving record. Only convictions for officer-issued traffic tickets add points.

Do points add up if I just pay the ticket?

Yes. Paying a moving violation citation counts as a conviction. The MVA adds points to your record. If you don't want points, you must request a trial and either win the case or get the charge reduced.

How long do points stay on my record?

Points remain on your driving record indefinitely but are only considered "current" for MVA action purposes for 2 years from the violation date. After 3 years, the violation is no longer publicly visible to insurance companies or employers.
