DMV Point System

The System
Louisiana doesn't have a state-based point system, but it is a participant of the Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS).
The PDPS is a component of the National Driver Register (NDR). It acts as a bank of information regarding driver's license histories from all states, including any:
- Revocations
- Cancellations
- Denials
- Serious traffic offenses
A driver's PDPS also includes basic identification information such as his or her name, date of birth, sex, and driver's license number. Louisiana uses this information to determine whether or not a person can be licensed in Louisiana.
Checking the Status of Your License
If you need or want to check the status of your driver’s license, you can read about ordering a driving record report.
Your NDR Record
If you would like to find out whether or not you have a record with the NDR, simply download the Individual Request Form using the free Adobe Reader, complete it, have it notarized, and send it to:
- National Driver Register
- 400 7th St. SW
- Room 6124A (NPO-124)
- Washington, DC 20590-0001
For more information about the PDPS, call the NDR at (202) 366-4800 or visit our Louisiana Driving Record section.
