How can I find out how many points I have on my PA license and how long does it take for them to be removed?

You may request a three-year or ten-year copy of your driver's history by using Pennsylvania’s Driver and Vehicle Services Online Services by completing a 'Request for Driver Information' form and submitting it to PennDOT. Certified histories are only available by completing this driving record request form (Form DL-503). The form contains detailed instructions and lists fees for different types of driving records.

By receiving a copy of your driving history from PennDOT you will be able to see how many points you have accumulated on your record so far. 

The Driver and Vehicle Services portion of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) maintains a driving record for every licensed driver in Pennsylvania. Points are added to the driving record (associated with your driver's license) when the driver is found guilty of certain driving (moving) violations.

PennDOT allow points to be removed from your driving record for safe driving. You can get 3 points removed from your driving history for every 12 consecutive months (from the date of the last violation) you go without a violation, which results in points, license suspension or revocation.

Once a driving record is reduced to zero and remains at zero points for 12 consecutive months, any further accumulation of points is treated as the first accumulation of points.
