You can check how many points are on your license in Idaho by going to the Transportation Department website. Checking your license points in Idaho will cost you $9.50, since you will need to pay for a copy of your driving record.
Idaho uses driver's license points to track violations. Accumulating 12 points in 12 months, 18 points in 24 months or 24 points in 36 months will result in a suspended license.
