The Driving Record and the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
An OWI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
