the points remain on your license for 4 years, however they are valid for 3 years. By valid that means they can be cited in furture motoring cases as part of the 'totting' up procedure or for consideration in sentancing on future cases. The extra year is to stop people pulling stunts to delay a prosecution to a date when existing points would be removed (say if they had 9 points and were at risk of loosing their licensce.. so they delayed the court case using all manner of excuses to get rid of any earlier offences).

Points (for speeding, as an example) remain on your licence and 'active' for 3 years (e.g. if you get any more points, they will be added to the ones you already have).
However, they cannot actually be removed from your licence for a further 12 months. You will then have to pay £19 to get the licence 'cleaned'. You can't do this until 4 years have passed from the date of the conviction.

In the UK they must stay on your licence for three years, they then remain visible on your licence but don't count against you for a further year and must be declared to your insurer for 5 years after they were applied - your insurer will automatically delete them from their system at the first renewal five years after the points are dated. You should apply to the DVLA to have them removed after 4 years so that your licence becomes clean again.

Points drop off after three years in most states. The number of points doesn't matter; if you got 9 at the same time, they would all drop off after three years. Call your DMV to be sure.
In Oklahoma, you used to lose extra points for every year you went without points. I do not know if this is still the case, however, because I have a CDL that is governed by different rules.

Assuming that you live in the US, it depends on your state, so check with your DMV or whatever department handles drivers licensing.
However, if what you are concerned about is the effect of the points on your auto insurance, you will also want to check with them because they may have a different policy regarding how long they count the infraction that resulted in the points against you, and they may have a different points system for determining your rates.
Anyway, drive safe out there!

3 years from the date of the offence. I know because I got 3 points for speeding just before christmas! I got caught doing 33 in a 30 zone. Asked the copper to let me off but he was a right prick.

In the Uk - points stay on your license for 4 years but count for 3 years towards the 12 you have to get to be banned. xx
