It depends on the offence, but take speeding as an example:
The points will remain on your licence and 'active' for 3 years. 'Active' means they count towards the totting up procedure. If you get 12 points, you can lose your licence.
They will remain on your licence, but 'inactive' for a further 12 months (a total of 4 years after the date of conviction). They no longer count towards the totting up procedure during this time. You can pay to have them removed when the 4 years are up (currently around £20).
You are required by law to declare the points to your insurance company for 5 years following the date of conviction.
The time spans are different for other offences.

all depends on what the points are for. If it is for speeding or something like that then they will be VALID on the driving licence for 3 years BUT WILL SHOW on the licence for a further 12 months. If you have a drink driving offence or dangerous driving offence then they are valid for 10 years but will show for 11 years.
If you need any further information call DVLA on 0870 240 0009 and speak to a telephone advisor.

The word is licence (note C) a noun.
To license (note S) is a verb.
The length of time points stay on a U.K. driving licence depends upon which offence caused them to be awarded.
Speeding = 3 years.
Alcohol or drugs = 11 years.

It really depends on the insurance company's filing with he individual States, but, typically it is 36 months. Some companies will drop them at 35 months (Progressive to name one.)
The best thing to do is contact a local independent agent and ask them Just look in your local phone book for the PIA or Big I (Trusted Choice) logos and you should be able to find a professional agent that is there to help you.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

4 years, they say ! but the reality is, 4 ever. Unless you pay about £25.00 to have it remove after the 4 years.
They dont remove them automaticaly anymore, the bastards !
