Paying points | Appealing points | How DPPs are calculated and recorded | How to reduce your DPP premium
You may be able to eliminate your driver penalty point (DPP) premium if you voluntarily surrender your driver's licence to an ICBC driver licensing office for one year during the billing period. Call a licensing office for more information.
You can also eliminate the premium by paying any outstanding amount in full.
You can reduce your premium if you give up your licence for 30 days or more within the billing period. You can have your driver's licence reissued at any time if you visit a driver licensing office and pay the reduced DPP premium and a licence fee. You must not have any outstanding prohibitions or need to take a driver re-examination.
The DPP premium will also be reduced if you have been prohibited (legally banned) from driving for 60 days or more within the billing period.

If you have been banned from driving, call Customer Contact when your prohibition period ends to find out how much you owe.
