How Long Do I Have to Complete the Missouri Driver Improvement Program (DIP)?
You must complete the Missouri Driver Improvement Program within 60 days of your conviction date for the point prevention benefit to apply. This deadline is set by Missouri Revised Statutes §302.302.
What the 60-Day Window Covers
The 60-day clock starts on your conviction date — not on the date you enroll. The window must cover the full process:
Enrolling in and completing the course
Receiving Form 4444 by email from Driving Logic
Printing Form 4444 and taking it to your court for a clerk signature
The court submitting your record to the Missouri DOR within 15 days Enroll and start the course as soon as possible after your court approves your participation. Waiting until the last days of your window leaves no room for delays.
What Happens If I Miss the Deadline?
If you do not complete the course and have your court submit Form 4444 to the Missouri DOR within the 60-day window, the point prevention benefit will not apply. Points may be assessed to your driving record for the qualifying conviction.
Contact your court before your deadline if you are concerned about timing.
Who Tracks the Deadline?
You are responsible for tracking your 60-day deadline. Driving Logic captures your conviction date at enrollment as a reference, but we do not monitor or enforce the deadline on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the 60 days start — from my court date or my conviction date? The 60-day window starts from your conviction date, which is typically the date the judge entered the conviction in your traffic case. Check your court paperwork for the exact conviction date.
What if I enrolled late and am running out of time? Complete the course immediately. The course can be taken across multiple sessions — you do not need to finish in one sitting. Once you pass the final exam, Form 4444 is emailed to you immediately. Take it to court the same day or the next day if possible.
Can my court extend the 60-day deadline? Deadline extensions are at the court's discretion. Contact your court directly if you need more time.
