Frequently Asked Questions
What if I only need to submit digitally? Check with your court or insurer. Many insurance companies accept a PDF by email. Courts vary — some require a physical copy. Confirm before submitting.
Can I print on regular copy paper? Standard white copy paper meets the requirement. The key requirement is that it is plain, uncolored, and free of any printing on the back.
What if I printed it on the wrong paper and it was rejected? Log back in to drivinglogic.com, download the certificate again, and reprint it on plain white paper. The certificate in your account is always available for re-download.
