All Illinois Questions
Can my husband and I share one account?
My husband and I both got tickets in Naperville. Can we share one account to save money?
Hello Emily, Great question. Each driver needs a separate account because the certificate must be tied to one specific name, driver's license number, and citation — sharing an account would invalidate one of the completions on the court's side. What you can do instead: - Create two accounts under separate email addresses - We offer a household discount when both enrollments are paid in the same checkout — reply for the discount code - Each of you can take the course independently at your own pace This keeps both certificates valid and accepted by the DuPage County Circuit Court.

Out-of-state ticket — does Illinois course count?
I live in Chicago but got a speeding ticket while visiting Indiana. Will an Illinois traffic school course handle it?
Hello Anthony, Thanks for the question. A traffic school course is accepted by the court that issued the ticket, not the state where you live, so for an Indiana citation you would need a course approved in Indiana. A few steps to confirm: - Call the Indiana court that issued the ticket and ask whether they accept an online defensive driving course and which providers are approved - We offer state-approved courses for Indiana as well — once you confirm, we can switch your enrollment - Any payment you made today can be transferred to the correct course at no extra charge This protects your Illinois driving record from any related point increase.
