Driving Logic submits your completion record to the Arizona statewide defensive driving database within 1 business day of completing the course. The court of jurisdiction then processes the dismissal. Courts do not send dismissal notifications, so the only way to confirm your citation was dismissed is to call your court directly — most people do this approximately 2 weeks after completing the course.

Once your completion is submitted to the database, the process is in the court's hands. The court receives notification of your completion and processes the citation dismissal according to their internal procedures. Different courts may process dismissals at different speeds, but the completion record is in the database as soon as Driving Logic submits it.

Arizona courts do not send confirmation letters, emails, or notifications when they dismiss a citation. This is standard practice across all Arizona courts and applies regardless of which certified course provider you used. No notification does not mean the citation was not dismissed — it just means the court does not communicate the dismissal.

To confirm your citation was dismissed, call the court listed on your citation approximately 2 weeks after completing the course. Have your citation number ready when you call. You can also check Arizona's online case lookup if your court participates in the system.

How long after completing the course will my ticket be dismissed? Driving Logic reports within 1 business day. The court then processes the dismissal — this typically takes a few weeks. Call your court approximately 2 weeks after completing the course to confirm.

Will the court contact me when my ticket is dismissed? No. Arizona courts do not send dismissal notices. You need to call the court yourself if you want confirmation.

What if the court still shows my citation as open 2 weeks after I completed the course? First confirm with Driving Logic that your completion was submitted. If it was, call the court directly and reference your completion date. Let us know and we can help if there is a reporting issue on our end.

Do I need to call the court after completing the course? Not necessarily. As long as you completed the course before the 7-day deadline and Driving Logic reported your completion, the citation dismissal process will proceed. Most people only call if they want explicit confirmation.

Can I check my citation status online? Some Arizona courts participate in online case lookup systems. Check the website of the court listed on your citation for their case lookup options.
