WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

How Court and DMV Processing Works

Submitting your certificate and closing your court case are separate steps. Here is the full process.

1

We Submit Your Certificate

Your completion is electronically sent to the California DMV and Court Central Traffic School Database. California courts require this electronic submission and do not accept a paper certificate from the student.

2

The Court Downloads It

A court administrator downloads your certificate from the central database into the court's local case-management system. Depending on the court, this may take from a day to several weeks.

3

The Court Reviews Eligibility

The court confirms you were approved for traffic school, completed by the deadline, paid all required court amounts, and met any other court requirements.

4

The Court Accepts Completion

When all requirements are met, the court processes the certificate and reports the result to the DMV so the eligible conviction is masked from your public driving record.

 

Note: Commercial drivers must call DMV Driver Safety Unit at (916) 657-6452 to avoid the point from counting on their record.

5

The Court May Reject It

A certificate can be rejected when a court requirement was not met. Only the court can explain the specific reason. The court may not immediately notify you or the school, which is why follow-up is important. We recommend you follow up after 30 days. 

DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

Check Your Court Case After 30 Days

We recommend checking the court's website or contacting the court approximately 30 days after completion to confirm your case has been closed or otherwise properly updated.

Your emailed certificate confirms that you completed the course. It does not confirm that the court accepted every part of your case or closed the citation. The court will not necessarily advise us, or you if your certificate is rejected.

PROCESSING QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I send my certificate to a California court?

No. After you pass, enter your ticket information, and pay, we electronically submit your completion through the California traffic-school reporting system. Keep the emailed certificate for your records.

How quickly do you submit my certificate?

Standard electronic processing within three business days is included. Same-business-day processing may be selected as an optional upgrade, subject to posted checkout cutoff times.

Does court processing time count towards my court due date?

No. Court processing time does not count towards your court deadline. Your certificate is sent with the date and time you completed traffic school.

Why does the court website not show my certificate immediately?

Our submission goes to the central California database. A court administrator must then download and process it in the court's local system, which may take from one day to several weeks.

Can the court reject my completion?

Yes. The court may reject it if you were not approved for traffic school, missed the deadline, did not pay required court amounts, or failed another court requirement. Only the court can explain the exact reason.

How do I know my ticket was dismissed or masked?

Check the court's online case status or contact the court approximately 30 days after completion. Your emailed certificate confirms course completion, but the court makes the final decision on your case.

What about a federal or out-of-state ticket?

Get approval from that court before enrolling. We electronically report only to California courts, so you may need to print and send the certificate according to the court's instructions.

I have a commercial driver's license. How does it work?

The California Vehicle Code (see section VC42005 on this state code page ) states that drivers with a commercial driver's license can only attend traffic school if they were not driving a commercial vehicle. Upon completion, the record of conviction will not be held confidential, but the conviction will not add a point count to the DMV record.

Drivers with a commercial driver's license are responsible for contacting the DMV Driver Safety Unit at (916) 657-6452  after completion of traffic school, to ensure that the DMV does not assess the point against their record.
