The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) representative states that, minor violations stay on your record for three (3) years based on the date the court reports to them. Some major infractions though, such as a DUI, may stay active it stays on your record for a longer period of time, up to ten years in fact.

They Connecticut DMV also notes that out of state infractions are only reported to them if you fail to pay the traffic ticket. So it would appear that out of state infractions would not be placed on your Connecticut driver’s record or assigned points if you properly take care of the violation.
