Q: How soon does it take a traffic citation to show up on your driving record?
A: Once you are convicted the court sends notice to Penndot and then it appears on your record. It does however depend upon the citation because some moving violations will appear on your record while other non-moving violations will not. If you recently received a ticket you would be well served to contact an experienced traffic attorney because points can lead to increased insurance premiums and too many points can lead to suspension. Additionally, certain moving violations carry with an automatic license suspensions so I would suggest talking to a lawyer first. Good luck
