About Point Reduction
In Idaho, completing a state-approved course can help you reduce points on your driving record and keep your license in good standing. The ITD allows eligible drivers to remove three points from their record once every three years by completing this six-hour online course.
Point reduction can make a big difference. Fewer points mean a cleaner driving record, which can help you avoid license suspension and even lower your insurance rates. Whether you've recently received a citation or simply want to protect your record, this course is an easy and affordable way to take control of your future.
After you complete the course, you'll receive your program certificate, which you can submit to the ITD for point reduction processing. It's that simple — no classroom, no paperwork, no stress.

Any Idaho driver looking to remove points, avoid future DMV penalties, meet court requirements, reduce their insurance rate or simply improve their knowledge can benefit from this course.

There is no minimum age requirement to enroll, but point reduction eligibility may vary for younger drivers. Teens and new drivers can still take the course for education or insurance purposes.
Is this course approved by the state?
Yes! This course is fully approved by the state for point reduction. Just be sure to check with the court or your insurance provider for the most accurate information about eligibility requirements.
How long is the course?

Can I take the course on my phone or tablet?
Absolutely. The course is 100% online and works on any device: desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Can this course lower my insurance rates?
Many insurance companies offer discounts for completing an approved course like this one. Contact your insurance provider to find out whether you qualify.
Will this course remove points from my driving record?
When you complete the course, you can submit your certificate to the Idaho Transportation Department for a three-point reduction on your record. While the program will not remove a traffic conviction from your record, reduced points do not count toward your point total when the state calculates penalties like a license suspension.
Be sure to confirm your eligibility before enrolling.
How many times can I take the course for point reduction?
Idaho allows point reduction only once every three years. If you're not sure when you last completed a point-reduction course, check with the DMV before enrolling.
What if I'm taking the course for a traffic ticket?
If your court allows it, you can take this course to dismiss a traffic citation or reduce your fine. Always check with your court or the ITD to make sure you qualify before starting.
Can I take this course after my license is already suspended?
No. The course must be completed before a suspension happens. Taking it after a suspension will not reverse or reduce any penalties.
What happens if I fail the final quiz?
No problem — you may retake the final quiz as many times as needed until you pass. There is no additional fee for retakes.
How do I get my completion certificate?
After passing the final exam, your certificate will be processed and delivered to you electronically.
Do I have to notify the DMV or court after completing the course?
Yes. After you receive your completion certificate, it's your responsibility to submit it to the Idaho DMV or your local court. They will not automatically be notified, so be sure to ask about certificate submission instructions and follow them carefully.
How long does it take for the 3-point reduction to appear on my record?
Processing times vary depending on DMV workload. Most reductions appear within a few business days after your certificate is submitted, but it may take longer during peak periods.
If you have a court deadline or are close to a suspension threshold, it's especially important to submit promptly.
What happens if I need help during the program?
Our friendly customer support team is available by email or live chat to answer questions and help you stay on track.
