Important Note Regarding Your DMV Completion Certificate
Upon completion of this online drivers ed course, you will earn your official
DMV Drivers Ed Completion Certificate (DMV Form DL-400C). When you are ready to take your written
permit test at the DMV, you'll need to bring this official form to the DMV to show proof that you
have successfully completed your driver education requirement. Please read the following important
notice regarding your DMV Completion Certificate:
-
DMV Only Accepts Original Certificates:
The DMV will only accept the original, hard copy DMV Completion Certificate (DMV Form DL-400C) issued by
Drivers Ed Direct.
The DMV will NOT accept a photocopy, fax copy, emailed copy, or downloaded copy of a certificate.
Copies of any DMV certificate will NOT be accepted by the DMV.
-
Certificate Processing:
Drivers Ed Direct will process and issue your
official DMV Drivers Ed Completion Certificate (DMV Form DL-400C)
within 1 business day after you complete our program.
-
Certificate Delivery:
By default, Drivers Ed Direct sends all official DMV Completion Certificates via USPS First-Class Mail.
While USPS First Class Mail is supposed to deliver within 3 business days, please understand that
USPS First-Class Mail can sometimes take up to 7-10 days to deliver and that Drivers Ed Direct has no control
over how quickly the USPS delivers your certificate once it has been mailed. For students who need their official
DMV certificates promptly, Drivers Ed Direct does offer:
-
Guaranteed expedited certificate shipping options with delivery tracking,
such as FedEx Next Day and FedEx 2nd Day. Additional charges apply, call 800-728-1048 for more information.
-
In-office certificate pick-up for students who call 1 business day in advance and arrange
to pick up their official completion certificate from our headquarters in Chatsworth, CA.
There is no charge for in-office certificate pick-up.
Please note: Once your certificate has already
been mailed, you cannot arrange to pick up your certificate without incurring a duplicate certificate issuance fee.
If you choose in-office certificate pick-up, please arrange this well in advance of completing your course.
In the event that a certificate is lost, there will be a $25.00 processing fee to have another certificate of completion sent. A signed letter from a parent/guardian is required to obtain a second certificate when the first one is lost.
The DMV will only accept original certificates from our office. If you are in a hurry to get your certificate you can always upgrade to expedited delivery. If you are in the neighborhood, you can always call and pick up the certificate instead of having one mailed to you.
