You may pay online if:

• You are paying in full a civil traffic citation issued within the last 30 days.
• You are paying a civil traffic citation that does not require the presentation of physical documentation, as required by vehicle registration, insurance, defective equipment, and driver license violations.
• You hold an out-of-state DL and you wish to elect driving school, and you verify that the issuing state will accept a Florida school election and withhold points for completing the school. Failure to complete the driver improvement school will result in an $18 failed school assessment and additional late fees.
• You may not elect to attend driver improvement school if you hold a commercial driver license.
• The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle's website now provides information to customers regarding their eligibility to elect driver school instead of points. The information will include a statement indicating if the customer is eligible or not to elect driver school. It also provides the date of the last election and the number of times the customer has elected in their lifetime, with a link to the Driving Courses page on our website. Click here to see if you are eligible to take the driver improvement course. Click here for the school election affidavit. If you submitted your school completion to this office prior to payment, you must contact our office at (850) 606-4100 as soon as you complete this transaction.
