Most Virginia courts accept the Virginia Driver Improvement Course online, but you must confirm with your court before enrolling because acceptance is not guaranteed.
If you need to take a Virginia Driver Improvement Course for a court requirement, it is important to know whether your court will accept an online course. Rules can vary by court, so always check before enrolling.
Why Court Acceptance Varies in Virginia
Each Virginia court sets its own rules for driver improvement courses. Some courts accept online courses licensed by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (Virginia DMV), while others may require in-person attendance or have specific conditions. Always check with your court to avoid issues.
How to Confirm Acceptance With Your Court
Contact your court’s clerk’s office before enrolling. Ask if the court accepts a DMV-licensed online driver improvement clinic. Also, confirm how to submit your certificate and the deadline for completion. For more information about approved clinics, visit the Virginia DMV’s driver improvement clinic page.
What Happens If Your Court Does Not Accept the Online Course?
If your court does not accept the online Virginia Driver Improvement Course after you have enrolled, you may be eligible for a refund within 30 days of purchase if your certificate has not been issued. If you have completed the course and your court rejects it, contact Driving Logic to discuss your options.
