Missouri Driver Improvement Program questions, answered plainly
Every answer here comes from the state's rules or from how our course is built. If yours is not here, ask us before you pay.
Everything people ask before they enroll
Do I need the court's permission to use DIP?
Yes. The points are waived only when the court handling your ticket authorizes you to complete a Driver Improvement Program. Ask before you enroll. The course is still worth taking without authorization, but it will not change your record.
How long do I have?
Sixty days from your guilty plea or conviction, set by Missouri. The course is eight hours; start the week you are authorized.
How often can I use DIP to avoid points?
Once in any thirty-six-month period.
Does DIP remove points that are already on my record?
No. It stops the points from the current violation being assessed. Existing points come off on their own: a third after one year with no new conviction, half after two years, all after three.
Does the ticket go away?
No. The conviction records; the points do not. Your insurer can still see the conviction.
How long does the course take?
Eight hours, self-paced. No quizzes. Most people finish across three or four sittings.
What is the final quiz like?
Twenty-five questions, twenty correct to pass. Unlimited retakes with different questions and no waiting period.
How does the Department of Revenue find out I finished?
Through the completion form, MO Form 4444. Take it to the clerk of the court that ordered the program to sign. By court rule the clerk sends it to the DOR within 15 days of completion; the DOR also says "you or the program may mail" it to the Driver License Bureau, PO Box 200, Jefferson City, MO 65105-0200. Ask the clerk which they do. The form and your certificate are ready to download the moment you pass.
Is it really $14.99?
Yes. The certificate, the DOR form, unlimited retakes and support are inside that number. There is no processing fee and no upgraded version of the course. Compare all Missouri-approved driver improvement programs by what you pay at checkout.
Why are you more than the $10 courses?
Because a person answers the phone, the DOR form comes filled in with your certificate the moment you pass, and nothing is added at checkout. If price is the only thing that matters to you, a cheaper approved course will also satisfy the court.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, in full, at any time before you complete the course. After you pass the quiz and the certificate is issued, no refund is available.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. The course and exam work on a phone, and your progress saves the moment you leave.
Eight hours. One flat price. Sixty days that are already counting.
Enroll the day your court says yes, finish over a week of evenings, and mail one form. That is the whole process.
