Missouri Adds New York Convictions to Missouri Records
Missouri and New York are both members of the
Driver License Compact,
meaning both states routinely share information about traffic convictions.
When the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) receives notification that a Missouri-licensed driver was convicted of a point-assessable violation in another state, Missouri will add the conviction to your driving record according to
Missouri’s Violation Conviction Code .
Why Missourians Should Treat NY Traffic Tickets as if Received in Missouri
- Home Record Impact: Missouri will record the out-of-state New York conviction directly on your Missouri driving record.
- NY DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA): All drivers—regardless of the state that issued their license—who are ticketed in New York are subject to New York's Driver Responsibility Assessment law. This requires additional payment from any driver who accrues 6 or more points in New York within a 24-month period. For example, a single speeding ticket for 21 mph over the limit is 6 points immediately.
- Insurance Surcharges: It is highly likely your Missouri auto insurance carrier will learn of the conviction when pulling your updated driving record, which may trigger significant premium rate increases or non-renewal of coverage.
