How Often Can I Take the Indiana Driver Safety Program Course for a Point Credit?
You can earn the 4-point driving record credit from the Indiana Driver Safety Program course once every 3 years.
How the 3-Year Limit Works
The 3-year period is measured from the date your previous course completion was reported to the Indiana BMV. After 3 years have passed, you are eligible to take the course again and earn the credit once more.
Completing the course before the 3-year period has expired will not result in a second credit. The BMV will not apply a duplicate credit to your record within the same 3-year window.
If You Are Required to Take the Course Again
If the Indiana BMV requires you to take the course again after 3 years, you will earn the 4-point credit upon completion just as you did the first time. The 3-year clock resets with each qualifying completion.
If You Take the Course Voluntarily
You may take the course voluntarily as many times as you choose, but the 4-point credit will only be applied once every 3 years. There is no restriction on enrollment — only on how often the credit can be earned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I take the course twice in one year? You will only receive one 4-point credit. The second completion will not result in an additional credit until 3 years have passed from your first qualifying completion. Does the 3-year limit reset if I move to a different Indiana county? Yes. The credit is tied to your Indiana driving record, not your county or address. The 3-year limit applies statewide regardless of where you live in Indiana. Is there a limit on how many times I can take the course over my lifetime? There is no lifetime limit. You can take the course and earn the credit as many times as needed, as long as 3 years have passed between each credit.
