Thank you for asking Patty.
You may be able to get information of the total points on your Ohio Driver’s License by contacting the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and getting a copy of your driving record/abstract. This contains an the person’s three-year record of violations and accidents.
The BMV site states that you may be able to get your driving record by mail or in person.
An individual maybe able to obtain a prior 3-year driving record of violations and accidents regarding any person by mail. It is important to provide the full name, address, date of birth, social security number, and driver license number on the form.
There is a fee of $2.00 for each driving record requested made by mail. It usually takes 14-21 days to process the requests by the BMV.
By visiting a local deputy registrar license agency, you also may also acquire your driver’s license information . For each driving record request a fee of $5.50 should be paid.
Goodluck!

Will My License Be Suspended For Speeding Ticket in Ohio?
Reader’s Question:
I got a speeding ticket in Ohio and I just want to know how many points it will take off and if my license will be suspended? I live in Indiana.

Thank you for asking Gene.
Indiana, your home state, and Ohio ,where you received your ticket, are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This means that the Ohio BMV will share back to Indiana’s BMV information regarding your traffic offense of this speeding ticket.
In Ohio it is a 4 point offense for driving 30 mph or more over the speed limit. In Indiana on the other hand, it is a 6 point offense speeding 25 mph in excess of the posted speed limit.
Since you are licensed in Indiana, it looks like you would receive the assessment of points in Indiana. According to the Indiana BMV moving infraction convictions, which IN has a corresponding violation, the violation will be put on your driving record along with the allotted points.
To get more information on other penalties that Ohio might give you for getting speeding ticket, contact the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and/or the court entity listed on the ticket that you received.
Goodluck!

Will Out Of State Speeding Ticket Show Up On My Ohio Record?
Reader’s Question:
I just want to know if the ticket I received in Kentucky will go to my driving record in Cincinnati OH?
Mike.
Thank you for asking Mike.
Ohio and Kentucky are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This agreement requires all member states to share all traffic infractions received by a motorist back to their home state where the person is licensed. So the Kentucky courts or Cabinet of Transportation will notify the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles about your KY ticket.
We have read in the past that Ohio does not assign points for out of state tickets, but will put the infraction or moving violations on your driving record. Ohio has changed their offense points system in the last few years so you may check with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to get more information on how out-of-state traffic violation convictions are now dealt with.
Goodluck!
