The Driving Record and the Michigan Secretary of State
Convictions are reported by the court to the Michigan Secretary of State, which keeps the driving record and decides on points and suspensions. Order the driving record from that agency, not from the court.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Michigan Secretary of State 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 Secretary of State (see Mount Pleasant DUI).
