DMV Required (Points Awarded, if Eligible):
Drivers are considered DMV-required when they receive an official notice from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) by U.S. mail or have a clinic requirement listed in their DMV compliance summary. These letters indicate the course is mandated by the DMV. Such requirements are typically issued to drivers under the age of 20 convicted of a traffic offense, drivers aged 20 or older who have accumulated excessive demerit points within a specific time frame, or individuals with suspended or revoked driving privileges. Eligible drivers may earn safe driving points upon course completion.
