I have a Missouri drivers license, and I just received a speeding ticket in Oklahoma. Will Oklahoma report this violation to my home state of Missouri and to my insurance company? I know each state has differing rules on this, and I am searching for the rules in Missouri and Oklahoma now.

Your home state of Missouri and the state which you received the ticket in, Oklahoma, are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This agreement requires member states to report tickets received by motorists back to the state where they received their license. This means that the Oklahoma speeding ticket conviction would be reported back to Missouri.

Oklahoma motor vehicles statutes (section 18-101) states that the judge or magistrate of a court shall keep record of every traffic complaint, traffic citation or traffic charge presented to the court or its traffic violations bureau. The record can include the conviction, judgment of acquittal, and amount of fine, and other citation information. So this record will be forwarded onto the Missouri Division of Motor Vehicle and Drivers Licensing, part of the MO Department of Revenue (DOR).

The Department of Revenue normally adds points to your record when it receives notice that you were convicted of a traffic violation while your vehicle was in motion for in-state offenses. The MO DOR does not state specifically what it does with out of state traffic violation information. So you can contact the Missouri DMV directly and find out if your Oklahoma speeding ticket will be added to your record or assigned points.

It is likely that the OK ticket will be added to your MO driving record. Your insurance company is not informed directly of tickets or moving violations, but instead they typically find out about traffic offenses the next time they pull your motor vehicle record and see the violation listed on your driving record.

If you want to continue researching the Drivers License Compact and its affect on Missouri drivers, it is mentioned under section 302.600 of the Missouri Revised Code.
