I have a Florida license and received a traffic ticket in
another state. Will this affect my Florida driving record?
If you hold a Florida license and have received a ticket in another
state, they will send Florida the ticket information and it will be
added to your record. You will receive points on your license if the
ticket is a point-accessible violation according to Florida Statute
322.27(3).
Note: Florida law does not allow any
school or program to remove points for a ticket received in another
state. However, If you hold a Florida driver license and receive a
ticket for a moving violation in Arizona, the state of Arizona may
withhold adjudication if you complete the ADI-12.
Any unpaid ticket reported by another state will result in the
suspension of your Florida license. If this has happened you must
contact the county where you received the ticket and obtain a
receipt with the Court seal. You must present this receipt to the
DHSMV via fax (850-487-7080), or mail, or in person at any Florida
Driver License Office. There will be a $47.50 reinstatement fee due
if the ticket was paid after the Florida suspension date. If you are
not sure if you owe the $47.50 fee or have trouble contacting the
county where you received the ticket, please call 850-617-2000 or
inquire at your local Driver License Office in person.
