After you finish the Tennessee Driver Education Course, Driving Logic emails your completion certificate and you must submit it to your court, the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, or your insurer depending on your reason for taking the course.
Completing the Tennessee Driver Education Course is an important step, but your responsibilities do not end with passing the final exam. What you do with your certificate depends on your reason for taking the course. Follow the correct process to ensure your ticket, points, or insurance discount is handled properly.
How to Submit Your Tennessee Driver Education Course Certificate
After you pass all course requirements, Driving Logic emails your certificate as a PDF attachment. You are responsible for submitting this certificate to the correct party based on your situation. If you took the course for ticket dismissal, submit your certificate to the court that approved your participation. For point reduction, send your certificate to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (DSHS) within 90 days of your conviction date. For insurance discounts, submit your certificate to your insurance provider.

Ticket Dismissal Requirements
If your court allowed you to take the Tennessee Driver Education Course for ticket dismissal, you must submit your certificate directly to the court. Contact your court to confirm whether to mail, fax, or hand-deliver the certificate. The court will review your submission and determine when the violation will be dismissed from your record.
Point Reduction Process
If you completed the course to reduce points from your driving record, submit your certificate to the Tennessee DSHS Financial Responsibility Division within 90 days of your conviction date. You can submit your certificate online through TN e-Services, by fax, or by mail. The DSHS will process your request and may remove up to 5 points for a qualifying speeding conviction.
Insurance Discount Submission
If you took the Tennessee Driver Education Course voluntarily for an insurance discount, send your certificate to your insurance provider. The insurance company will decide if you qualify for a discount and when it will take effect. Each insurer has its own policies for processing discounts.
Who Submits Your Certificate
Driving Logic does not submit your certificate to any court, regulator, or insurance company. You are responsible for delivering your certificate to the appropriate party to receive credit for completing the course.
