Car Insurance Question  I have an Illinois license and received a speeding ticket in Michigan (10 mph over the limit). Will this appear on my Illinois driving record?

Michigan is not a member of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) while your home state of Illinois is. This Compact allows member states to exchange information regarding tickets received out of state back to the state in which the motorist was licensed.

Even though Michigan is not a member of the DLC it appears their Department of State (DMV) will still share and exchange information with other state's courts and Department of Motor Vehicles regarding traffic violations.

The drivers section of the IL Secretary of State site does not mention specifically that out of state tickets are put on your driving record. However the Illinois Administrative Code Motor Vehicle section 1040.20 gives information on the Illinois offense table. Here it notes that all out-of-state convictions are to be considered and to be coded exactly as Illinois Vehicle Code violations with the exception of the first digit which shall be an “8.”

From this Administrative Code information listed above we gather that out of state moving violations will be added to your Illinois driving record and assigned points. In Illinois for going 1 to 10 MPH above limit above the speed limit it is 5 points that are assessed.
