Get court approval

  1. Review your notice

    Check eligibility and the response date. Tell the court promptly if your citation address is wrong.

  2. Submit the school request

    The online request asks for your case number, contact details, and agreement to the court's conditions.

  3. Include the court school fee

    Contact the court before card payment to add the administrative fee. Ordinary fine payment does not authorize school.

  • Completion date

    Save the written date for your case. Ask Traffic to clarify conflicting instructions.

  • Court payment arrangement

    If installments are approved, the full court balance must be paid by the completion date.

Common questions

No courtesy notice?

Contact the court by the citation due date. An unprocessed citation cannot yet be researched.

Have an out-of-state license?

Review the Out of State Residents instructions for the additional driving record and declaration, and obtain approval before enrolling.

Need a lower fine and school?

Local form MTR-500 requests both together. Include the financial information it asks for.

Missed the school request or completion date?

Ask the clerk whether MTR-540 applies. It addresses late completion and school elections after a conviction was sent to DMV.
