Once you complete the traffic school course we will electronically submit your certificate of completion electronically to the DMV within 72 business hours. Once your certificate information is retrieved by your court, they will mark it as received and electronically process your dismissal with the DMV so the ticket will not count as a point on your record. For large courts, the dismissal process can take several days to weeks. The exact time frame for this process depends on each individual court, so be patient. If you have completed your course prior to your due date, you have nothing to worry about.
Each court has a different policy regarding extensions. You must contact your court for this information. It is best to call or write your court prior to your due date passing or as soon as you think you may not be able to finish your traffic school course on time.

Make sure that you originally registered with TrafficSchool.com. It is our policy to send confirmation emails to you when you register/enroll for the online course, make a payment, and complete the program. Check your email box for these confirmation emails to insure that you have contacted the correct company. If you do not have a confirmation email from TrafficSchool.com, you have registered with another company.
If you are positive that you have registered with TrafficSchool.com, but the login/re-enter procedure is not working, it is because you are entering either your driver's license number and/or email address different from what you originally registered with. You will need to re-enter your information exactly as you registered including all letters, numbers, expiration dates, spaces in driver's license, etc. so long as you entered it during registration. The confirmation email that is sent when you enroll will have your information listed for re-entry purposes. Please refer to this email for assistance.
A common error when trying to re-enter your course is typing the letter 'O or o' instead of the number '0' (zero) or vice-versa for the driver's license # or e-mail address. When typing in your driver's license # or e-mail address, this re-entering function is not case sensitive (you may replace a lower case 'o' with a capitol 'O'), but it will not let you substitute a letter 'O or o' for the number zero '0'.
