I got a speeding ticket the other day going 74 in a 65 in Maryland. Will points transfer to my NJ drivers license since it was under 10 MPH over the speed limit?

Maryland And New Jersey are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) meaning that the MD courts will notify the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission of this out of state speeding ticket.

According to the New Jersey MVC all members in this compact exchange all violation information. Furthermore the MVC notes that out-of-state moving violations are worth two points on your NJ driving record.

So if you receive a speeding ticket in Maryland, you should get two points on your New Jersey driving record for that violation since there are not exceptions listed such as only if the ticket is over 10 mph.

Thus even if a 9 mph over the speed limit citation does not have points associated for it in MD when it is transferred to your home state of NJ, 2 points are assessed. By the way it is normally worth 2 points on your NJ driving record for being caught speeding 1 to 14 mph over the speed limit in state.
