How Do I Submit My Certificate for Ticket Dismissal in Tennessee?
For ticket dismissal, submit your completion certificate to the court that granted you permission to take the course. Your court will specify how they want to receive it.
Step-by-Step: Ticket Dismissal Process
Step 1 — Get court permission before enrolling
Contact the court listed on your citation and request permission to complete a driver education course to dismiss your ticket. You will need to provide your ticket number, citation date, and violation charge. The court determines whether you are eligible.
Step 2 — Enroll and complete the course
After you receive court permission, enroll at drivinglogic.com/tennessee/driver-education-course and complete the course before your court's deadline.
Step 3 — Receive your certificate by email
Driving Logic emails your certificate immediately after you pass the final exam.
Step 4 — Submit your certificate to your court
Contact your court to ask whether they prefer the certificate mailed, faxed, or hand-delivered. Submit before your court's deadline.
Step 5 — Verify your record
After your court processes the submission, check your Tennessee driving record to confirm the ticket has been dismissed.
