What Is a Defensive Driving Certificate of Completion?
A certificate of completion documents that a student completed a particular driving-safety course. Whether a certificate can be used for ticket dismissal, insurance, point reduction or another purpose depends on the rules that apply to the student.
What to Do After Completing Your Course

Review the Certificate
Check that your name and other required information are correct.
2
Follow Court Instructions
Submit the certificate in the format and by the deadline your court requires.
3
Keep a Copy
Save a copy of your completion record and submission confirmation for your files.
Important: A certificate does not automatically dismiss a citation. The court or responsible authority determines whether your requirements have been satisfied.
Digital and Printed Certificates
Delivery options depend on the course provider and jurisdiction. Before enrolling, confirm whether your court requires an original, printed copy, electronic submission or another format.
