New Hampshire Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.

How New Hampshire DMV Handles New York Traffic Tickets

If you receive a traffic conviction in New York State, New Hampshire will be notified of the offense because both states belong to the Driver License Compact.

Traffic violations committed in other states will be added directly to your official New Hampshire driving record .

Need Your New Hampshire Driving Record? New Hampshire-licensed drivers can request an official copy of their motor vehicle record directly through the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles Online Portal .

Insurance Premium Increases & NY DMV Assessments

Insurance Rate Increases: Most importantly, your auto insurance provider will almost certainly learn of your New York conviction when reviewing your updated New Hampshire driver record during policy renewal cycles. Moving violation convictions frequently lead to substantial annual premium surcharges or the loss of safe driver discounts.

NY DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA): Regardless of your home state license, the New York DMV maintains a shadow administrative record for all out-of-state drivers. Accumulating 6 or more points in New York within an 18-month window triggers mandatory Driver Responsibility Assessment fees starting at $300 ($100/year for 3 years). Failure to pay will result in a suspension of your driving privileges in New York.

It's been quite a few months, maybe a year since Seth got my speeding ticket reduced to a non moving violation. After speaking with several attorneys I went with Seth because he was exactly as described in his reviews. He was reachable, returned my calls, answered all my questions (which there were many). After a few weeks he and his staff got back to me with a positive outcome. It cost some money in fees and fines but a few months later my insurance had dropped $800. Wow....I was happy I didn't get a speeding ticket or points taken away so that my insurance wouldn't go up. This was a super bonus! 
Thanks Seth!

Outstanding Attorney. Nice Guy as well.

Seth and Monica are amazing together working to help me with my ticket in upstate NY. They are very attentive, understanding, and willing to give detailed explanations of the process from start to finish. Great results. Seth puts his clients first, which is an amazing thing in today's world. I will use Seth for any issue in NY.

Azria & Bruffett was a huge help in successfully defending me against a speeding violation in Great Valley NY. I am from out of state and would have had great difficulty defending myself. They knew the process, took care of everything for me, and kept me informed along the way. I highly recommend them.
