Updated October 2026 · Reviewed by Billy Forte

If you searched how to check points on license missouri, the direct answer is to call the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) at 573-526-2407 or email dlbmail@dor.mo.gov. You can also order your driver record for $2.82 online through the state’s My DMV site, at a license office or with Form 4681.

How to Check Points on License Missouri: Your Options

The Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) keeps every Missouri driving record. It is also the agency that adds and lowers points.

There are two kinds of requests. One asks the DOR for your point total. The other orders a copy of your driving record.

PhoneYour point totalCall 573-526-2407
EmailYour point totalWrite to dlbmail@dor.mo.gov
OnlineYour driver recordOrder through the DOR’s online portal
License officeYour driver recordAsk in person; a $2 processing fee applies
Form 4681Your driver recordSend it by email, mail or fax

Each option is covered below, with the source for each step.

Ask the DOR for Your Total

The DOR Tickets and Points FAQ gives one clear instruction. It says, “Please call 573-526-2407 to find out how many points you have on your record.”

The same FAQ lists an email address for the question. You can write to dlbmail@dor.mo.gov.

Asking this way gives you a point total. It is not the same as ordering a copy of your record.

Order Your Driver Record

The DOR Driving Records page lists three ways to order your own record. Each one leads to the same DOR record.

Online

The DOR records page says you can order your record “Online at My DMV.” The portal is at mydmv.mo.gov.

At a License Office

You can also ask for a record in person at a license office. The office adds a $2 processing fee to the record fee.

With Form 4681

The third option is a paper request. The records page says to submit a completed “Request from Driver License Record Holder (Form 4681)” by email, mail or fax.

You can get the Form 4681 PDF from the DOR site. The records page lists this contact for the Driver License Record Center:

  • Mail: 301 West High Street, Room 470, PO Box 2167, Jefferson City, MO 65101.
  • Email: dlrecords@dor.mo.gov.
  • Phone: 573-526-2407.
Steps for ordering a Missouri driver record, from picking the record type to paying the fee

What It Costs

The DOR records page lists the fee as “Driver Record | $2.82.” That fee applies to each record.

At a license office, you also pay “the $2 office processing fee.” So an in-person record costs both fees together.

With or Without Personal Information

The DOR offers two kinds of records. One includes your personal information, and one does not.

Personal information is limited by a federal law, the Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA). The DOR page says others may see it only “if they are exempt under the federal Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA).”

The record without personal information still shows your driving history. The DOR says it contains “only non-personal driving history, including information such as speeding tickets” and other violations.

For your own point check, either kind of record shows your tickets. Our guide to your Missouri driving record explains how to read each entry.

Another Person’s Record

You can request someone else’s record, but the DOR sets two conditions. The request needs that person’s signature and a notary.

The DOR Driving Records page sets both conditions. Plan for the notary step before you send the request.

Why Your Record and Your Total Can Differ

A ticket on your record does not always mean points in your total. Two rules explain the gap.

First, points shrink with clean time. Under RSMo 302.306, a driver with no moving-violation conviction sees the total drop by one-third after 1 year, by one-half after 2 years and to zero after 3 years. The ticket can stay listed while that happens.

Second, the ticket follows its own removal rule. The DOR FAQ says a ticket conviction may be removed three years after the conviction. If it led to a point suspension or revocation, it may be purged five years after reinstatement.

So read both answers together. Our guide on how long points stay covers the clean-time schedule, and our guide on how long a ticket stays on your record covers removal.

When a Check Helps

Some moments make a check more useful. Each one ties to a rule in the law:

  • After a conviction. Points count from the conviction date under RSMo 302.304.
  • After an advisory letter. It means 4 or more points in 12 months.
  • After reinstatement. RSMo 302.304 says the total drops to 4 points.
  • Before you talk with the court about the DIP. It counts no more than once in any 36-month period.

What Your Total Means

Once you know your total, compare it with the levels in RSMo 302.304:

  • 4 points in 12 months: the DOR mails a point accumulation advisory letter.
  • 8 points in 18 months: the DOR suspends your license.
  • 12 in 12, 18 in 24 or 24 in 36 months: the DOR revokes your license.

Points count from the conviction date, and clean years lower them. Our pillar guide to Missouri driver license points explains each level.

Values Behind the Total

Your total is the sum of the values for each conviction. A speeding conviction adds 3 points under state law or 2 under a city or county ordinance. A moving violation not listed in the law adds 2.

Larger values apply to serious offenses. Driving while suspended or revoked adds 12, and a first DWI adds 8. Our Missouri points chart lists every value, so you can match each ticket on your record to its points.

If Your Total Looks Wrong

Start with the DOR, which keeps the record. The FAQ gives 573-526-2407 and dlbmail@dor.mo.gov for point questions.

Questions about a ticket itself go to the court that handled it. The court decides the conviction, and the DOR posts it.

If the DOR has mailed you a suspension or revocation notice, the DOR FAQ describes an appeal. It goes to the circuit court of the county where you live, within 30 days after the notice is issued. A Missouri attorney can advise you on your own case.

Letters the DOR Sends

You may hear from the DOR before you ask. RSMo 302.304 says the DOR must notify you “by ordinary mail” when your record shows four or more points in 12 months.

That letter states the point value on your record. Keep it with your court papers.

The letter is not a suspension. The suspension level is 8 points in 18 months, so the letter is a notice that comes first.

Checking Whether Your License Is Valid

A point total does not tell you everything about your license. A license can also be suspended for reasons other than points.

Our guide on how to check if your license is suspended covers license status in full.

Tickets From Other States

Your Missouri total can include tickets from other places. The DOR FAQ says out-of-state and federal-property convictions are posted to your Missouri driver record.

It adds, “The point value is determined by the violation conviction code.” So a check of your total should cover those tickets too.

If a New Ticket Is Pending

A check shows points from past convictions. A pending ticket adds points only after a conviction or a forfeited bond under RSMo 302.302.

For some tickets, the court may order the Driver Improvement Program (DIP). When it does and verifies completion, the DOR accepts the DIP “in lieu of the assessment of points” for that one ticket.

The DIP covers only speeding, the careless and imprudent line, other moving violations not listed, and the extra 2 points for injury or damage. It is never open to anyone who has or must have a commercial driver’s license (CDL), in any vehicle.

The DIP does not remove points already on your record. The DOR FAQ points to the Missouri Safety Center for a list of programs.

What We Found on the Official Pages

On the DOR pages we checked on October 27, 2026, the point-total contact and the records contact were different. The FAQ gives dlbmail@dor.mo.gov for points. The records page gives dlrecords@dor.mo.gov for record requests.

Both pages list the same phone number, 573-526-2407. The records page names only two record types: with and without personal information.

The records page showed no date of last update. Check it again before you order.

Common Mistakes

Each mistake below is checked against a DOR page:

  • Using the wrong email. Point questions go to dlbmail@dor.mo.gov, and record requests go to dlrecords@dor.mo.gov.
  • Forgetting the office fee. A license office adds $2 to the $2.82 record fee.
  • Asking for a record type the DOR does not list. The DOR lists records with and without personal information.
  • Ordering someone else’s record without the right steps. You need their signature and a notary.
  • Ignoring the advisory letter. It means your record shows 4 or more points in 12 months.
  • Leaving out tickets from other states. They can be posted to your Missouri record.

How Requirements Can Vary

Missouri’s point values, suspension levels and Driver Improvement Program rules come from Missouri law (RSMo 302.302 and 302.304) and apply statewide. Whether a court orders the DIP for your ticket, and how your case is handled, is up to the court on your ticket. Fines and court costs depend on the court and the charge.

Laws, forms and court practice can change. Check your ticket, any court order, the Missouri DOR website and the Missouri Revised Statutes before you enroll or pay.

Conclusion

You can check your Missouri points by calling or emailing the DOR, or by ordering your driver record. Compare your total with the 4, 8 and 12-point levels so nothing surprises you. If the court on a new ticket has ordered the DIP, it can keep that ticket’s points off your record. Take the Missouri Driver Improvement Program online when you have that order.
