How Do I Print My Completion Certificate Correctly?

If you need to submit a printed copy of your DIC 552B certificate to a court or insurer, it must be printed on plain white 8.5 x 11 bonded paper with no modifications.

How Do I Print My Completion Certificate Correctly?

If you need to submit a printed copy of your DIC 552B certificate to a court or insurance company, Virginia DMV rules specify exactly how it must be printed.

Printing Requirements

  • Print on plain white 8½" × 11" bonded paper

  • The Virginia DMV will not accept certificates printed on colored paper

  • The Virginia DMV will not accept certificates printed on decorative or special paper

  • The Virginia DMV will not accept certificates that have any advertisement on the front or back

  • The Virginia DMV will not accept any certificate that has been altered in any way

Use standard printer settings on plain white copy or bond paper. Do not resize, annotate, or modify the certificate in any way before printing.

Do I Need to Print It?

Not necessarily. Driving Logic is required to report your completion electronically to the Virginia DMV within 24 hours after course completion, including weekends and holidays — you do not need to submit a printed certificate to the DMV for most purposes.

A printed copy is typically needed when: - Submitting proof to your court (court-ordered students) - Submitting proof to your insurance company (insurance students)

Check with your court or insurer about their preferred submission method.

How to Get Your Certificate for Printing

Open your certificate email and download the attached DIC 552B PDF. The certificate is not available in your online course account. Open it in your PDF viewer and print using the default settings on plain white paper.

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? Download another copy from your certificate email and reprint it on plain white paper. Contact support if the email is missing.
