Well, since everyone else has got it wrong, here is the correct answer:
Those points will stay on your licence and 'active' for 3 years. 'Active' means that if you get any more points, they will go towards the total of 12 needed for a ban, under the totting-up procedure.
They will then stay on as 'inactive' for a further 12 months (a total of 4 years after the date of conviction). They do not count towards the totting up procedure and you can pay to have them removed at the end of that time.
You must also declare them to your insurer for 5 years after the date of conviction, even though they will no longer be on your licence.

Typically it would be 3 years.
Driving bans stay on for 10 years, although insurance companies ignore them after 5 years.
Check the DVLA website and all should become clear.

They stay on for 3 years, after which you can apply for a replacement licence without these showing.

so you got six points in total that is the correct amount for this offence and iam afraid they stay on your licence for 4 years.

3 years. You must tell your insurance company otherwise your insurance is not valid.
