How Do I Check My Tennessee Driving Record?
You can request a copy of your Tennessee driving record through the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (DSHS). This is how you verify that your course completion was processed and that points were removed or your ticket was dismissed.
How to Request Your Tennessee Driving Record
Visit the Tennessee DSHS website and look for the driver record request section. The DSHS offers online requests through TN e-Services as well as mail-in options.
You may need to pay a small fee to obtain a copy of your record.
What to Look For
After submitting your certificate and allowing adequate processing time, check your driving record to confirm:
For point reduction: The points from your qualifying speeding conviction have been removed from your record.
For ticket dismissal: The violation does not appear as a conviction on your record.
Allow several weeks after submitting your certificate before checking your record.
What If the Record Does Not Reflect the Expected Change?
For point reduction: Contact the Tennessee DSHS Financial Responsibility Division to confirm receipt and status of your submission.
For ticket dismissal: Contact your court directly to confirm they processed your certificate.
Let us know and we can help provide documentation of your course completion if needed.
