Mississippi lets you keep a conviction off your record through nonadjudication: with the court's agreement, completing an approved course means the ticket is not entered as a conviction. It is available once every three years for an eligible moving violation (Miss. Code § 63-9-11). Because it runs through the court, confirm eligibility with the court on your citation before you enroll. Last checked August 2026.
The True Cost of a Ticket in Mississippi
A Mississippi moving-violation conviction can raise your insurance (Mississippi has no driver point system). Nonadjudication keeps the conviction off your record when the court agrees, available once every three years (Miss. Code § 63-9-11), which is what protects your insurance. You still pay the court costs. Confirm with the court on your citation. Last checked August 2026.
