Traffic Violator Course Completion (TVCC) Database

The Traffic Violator Course Completion (TVCC) database is an online service DMV developed to manage traffic violator course completions. With this system, TVSs can add course completions to the database, and they will be available to the designated courts a day after they are submitted.

• The Traffic Violator Course Completion (TVCC) database Client Service Integration is typically used by traffic violator schools offering internet instruction and courts with a large number of traffic violators attending TVS. You need a front-end program to submit a course this way. The Client Service Integration Guide provides guidelines for how to develop a front-end program like this.
  • Service Client Integration Guide – Updated August 2012.
• Once you have received either a temporary permit or notification of being licensed, this is how you request TVCC database access:

  • User instructions and court code lists are available after a user has logged into the TVCC application.
