You must complete the Missouri Driver Improvement Program within 60 days of your conviction date for the point prevention benefit to apply. Missing this deadline means points may be added to your driving record.
Timely completion of the Missouri Driver Improvement Program is essential if you want to prevent points from being added to your driving record. The 60-day deadline is set by Missouri law and covers all steps from enrollment to court submission.
Understanding the 60-Day Completion Deadline
The 60-day period begins on the date of your conviction, not the date you enroll in the course. You must finish all required steps—including completing the course, obtaining Form 4444, having the court sign it, and ensuring the court submits your record to the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR)—within this window. For more details about state requirements, visit the Missouri Department of Revenue’s driver improvement program page: Missouri DOR Driver Improvement Program.
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline
If you do not complete the Missouri Driver Improvement Program and have your court submit Form 4444 to the Missouri DOR within 60 days of your conviction date, the point prevention benefit will not apply. Points from your qualifying conviction may be added to your driving record. Contact your court as soon as possible if you are concerned about meeting the deadline.
Who Tracks Your Deadline
You are responsible for monitoring your 60-day deadline. Driving Logic records your conviction date at enrollment as a reference, but does not track or enforce the deadline for you. It is important to start the course promptly to avoid missing the deadline.
