Yes, your home area of Washington, DC and the state of Maryland both take part in the Drivers License Compact (DLC) so if you are convicted of the MD ticket then their courts will inform the District of Columbia Department of Motor Vehicles.

According to the District of Columbia DMV, drivers receive points for certain moving traffic violations, whether the violations occur in the District of Columbia or in other states. The DC DMV will assess points if you are found liable at a hearing, fail to pay a ticket within the time required, are convicted in court of a traffic violation, or you pay the ticket (thus admission of liability). The number of points you will receive depends on the type of violation you received in Maryland.

Since the Maryland moving violation will be placed on your DC driver's license your insurance will see it the next time they pull your motor vehicle record (MVR) and thus it could affect your auto insurance rates. Whether this out of state traffic ticket will affect your rates will depend upon your insurance carrier’s rating system. To find out about your specific provider’s rating system check with your insurance agent.
