Yes. Los Angeles County Superior Court accepts online Traffic Violator School from DMV-licensed providers. Freeway Traffic School holds CA DMV TVS License E1745, which is valid statewide — including all LA County courthouses.

You still need to be eligible and have court permission before you register. Check your ticket or confirm at lacourt.org.

You can request traffic school multiple ways:

• Online at lacourt.org — search by driver's license number or citation number
• By phone at (213) 633-6300, Mon–Fri 8:30am–4:30pm
• By mail to your specific courthouse
• In person at any traffic clerk's window

Pay your bail and the $64 traffic school admin fee when requesting.

You have 64 days from court approval to complete traffic school.

One 60-day extension is available — request it online at lacourt.org. The extension option will appear in the online system if you're eligible for one.

Always verify your specific deadline directly with the court — policies can change.

Los Angeles County Superior Court charges a $64 non-refundable traffic school processing fee, paid directly to the court. This is separate from any course payment when you pass.

Pay the court fee online at lacourt.org. Always verify the current fee amount with the court — it can change.

Your citation will list the courthouse. LA County has over 30 courthouse locations. Common traffic courthouses include Metropolitan (Downtown LA), Van Nuys, Compton, Torrance, Pomona, Chatsworth, El Monte, and Glendale.

See our courthouse directory for location-specific phone numbers and details. All courthouses share the same $64 fee, 64-day deadline, and online portal at lacourt.org.

To be eligible, you generally need to:

• Have a valid California driver's license at the time of the violation
• Have been driving a non-commercial vehicle
• Have received a minor infraction (not a misdemeanor or DUI)
• Have received court permission for traffic school
• Not have used traffic school to mask a point in the past 18 months

When in doubt, check with the court — not with us. We can't determine your eligibility.

No. Commercial drivers cannot use TVS to mask a point on their commercial driving record, even if they were driving a personal vehicle at the time of the violation. This is a California state rule, not ours.

California limits traffic school to masking one point per 18-month period. The window is calculated from the date of the violation, not the date you completed the course. So if your violations are within 18 months of each other, only one can be masked.

Start free with no upfront course payment. Use the full course, unlimited retries, and self-paced lessons first; when you pass, your course payment covers electronic filing and same-day processing to the court.

Remember: this is separate from LA County's $64 court admin fee, which is paid directly to the court.

Yes. The full course is available in Spanish. Use the "Comenzar Gratis" enrollment button to register in Spanish, or see our En Español page for more info.

Most people finish in a few hours. The course is self-paced — you can start and stop whenever you want, log back in from any device, and pick up where you left off. There are no timers or session minimums.

Electronically, the same day you finish. No paper certificate, no mailing, no waiting. The course provider submits your completion record directly to the LA County Superior Court. Allow 1–2 weeks for it to appear in your case status at lacourt.org.
