Point Reduction in New Hampshire
Determine Your “Course” of Action
Completing a six-hour, state-approved driver improvement program will remove three points from your driving record. To be eligible, you must:
- Have points on your driving record
- Have not taken advantage of this option in the last three years
Complete a NH Driving Safety Course
To receive credit, the driver improvement program must be approved by the state. If you have any doubts about the school you're considering, double-check with the DMV.
Submit Requirements to the Court
A driver improvement program's completion certificate will serve as verification that you completed the course. Until the DMV sees it, points will not be removed. Check with your instructor. Ask if the program automatically delivers completion certificates to the DMV. If not, you must handle it yourself.
Send the completion certificate, along with a request to have the three points removed, to:
- NH Division of Motor Vehicles
- Bureau of Financial Responsibility
- 23 Hazen Drive
- Concord, NH 03305
Check Your New Hampshire Driving Record
Check your driving record for accuracy after completing the driver improvement course. Verify that three points have been removed as a reward for completing the driver improvement course. If you notice any errors, call the Bureau of Financial Responsibility at (603) 227-4010.
Get an Auto Insurance Discount
Increased car insurance rates often coincide with points on a driving record. You can always counter high premiums by shopping around for a new provider. Comparing vehicle insurance rates online is a convenient way to find affordable coverage.
