To register for the Virginia Driver Improvement Course, you need your full legal name, email address, date of birth, and Virginia driver’s license number or DMV customer number; court-ordered students must also provide citation details.
When you enroll in the Virginia Driver Improvement Course, you must provide personal and license information to verify your identity and meet Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requirements. The details you submit are used for your course certificate and DMV reporting. Court-ordered students have a few extra requirements.
Required Information for All Students
You must enter your full legal name as it appears on your driver’s license, your email address for account access and certificate delivery, your date of birth, and your Virginia driver’s license number. If you do not have a Virginia driver’s license, you must provide your Virginia DMV Customer Number instead.
Additional Requirements for Court-Ordered Students
If a court has ordered you to complete the Virginia Driver Improvement Course, you must also provide your citation number and the name of the issuing court, city, or county. These details are found on your court paperwork or traffic citation. If you cannot locate your citation number, contact the court before registering.
Why the Virginia DMV Needs This Information
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires all online driver improvement clinics to verify student identity and report course completion. Your name, date of birth, and license or customer number are used to generate your DIC 552B completion certificate, which is accepted by the DMV and courts. For more details on DMV requirements, visit the Virginia DMV’s driver improvement clinic page.
