Maryland is strict—and has a long memory—when it comes to points on your driving record.
Points stay on your Maryland record for a varied amount of time after the date of your conviction,
depending on the severity of the offense.
The state will expunge your record by:
- 31 daysafter your most recent conviction date for motorists who have:
- Never had their license suspended for driver safety-related reasons.
- Never had a license revocation.
- No moving violations on their records.
- 3 years after your last moving violation conviction date for drivers who have:
- Never had a license suspension for driver safety reasons.
- Never had a license revocation.
- Moving violations on their record.
- 5 yearsafter your last moving violation conviction date for drivers who have:
- Only had their driver's license suspended 1 time for reasons of driver safety.
- Never had a license revocation.
- 10 yearsafter your most recent moving violation conviction date or grant of probation before judgement in certain cases for drivers with:
- Multiple license suspensions.
- Previous license revocations.
Records
INELIGIBLE for expungement include any:
- Active or pending license suspension.
- Fatal accident-related suspensions.
- Violations related to alcohol.
- Violation substantially similar, or identical, to those listed above.
- Entries required for assessment of subsequent offender penalties.

=============================>
The MVA may take different actions depending upon the number of points you've accumulated during the previous
2 years. Your driver record is reviewed for accumulated points each time the MVA adds more points to your record. See
Point Accumulation for details.
Note that if you obtain a copy of your driver record some time
after the MVA takes an action such as suspending your license, the number of points showing on the record (referred to as "current" points) could be different than the number of points indicated on your suspension letter. This can happen because points may have been added or expunged after the letter was sent.
Points remain on your driver record until they are officially expunged by the MVA. See
Driver Record Expungement by Request for more information. However, after 2 years from the violation date, the points are no longer considered "current" points.
- There are no fees associated with the assessment of points.
