The Virginia Driver Improvement Course uses a four-step identity verification process that meets Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles requirements to ensure only the registered student completes the course. No facial recognition or biometric methods are used.
Identity verification is a key requirement for anyone taking the Virginia Driver Improvement Course online. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (Virginia DMV) sets strict rules to confirm that the person registered is the one completing the course. Driving Logic follows a clear process to meet these standards and protect the integrity of your certificate.
