Schools Will Notify

Yes, the traffic school is required to notify the DMV or court system that you attended. However, it’s a good idea to submit the certificate of completion to the DMV yourself to make sure it gets done in a timely manner.

Traffic schools are sanctioned by the DMV or court system and are required to fulfill certain responsibilities in carrying out their mission. This includes the material they teach in their courses and the manner in which they cooperate with the DMV.

Part of the responsibility of a traffic school is to notify the DMV when a driver successfully completes traffic school. They are required to submit a certificate of completion to the DMV so that the citation does not appear on the driver’s driving record. There have been cases, however, where a traffic school failed to notify the DMV about course completions.

Clerical errors are a part of life, but you don’t want to suffer the consequences of someone else’s mistake. So it’s highly recommended that you check with your DMV on how you can submit proof of course completion yourself. By handling it yourself, you can ensure the DMV gets notification that you’ve attended traffic school so that the citation does not end up on your driving record.

Check Your Records
