Court code

Your DMV court code

Every California traffic court has a five-digit DMV court code, which tells the DMV where your completion belongs. Your citation and courtesy notice name the courthouse, and the code belongs to that courthouse.

Santa Clara County Superior Court takes traffic tickets at two courthouses. Code 43635 is the South County Morgan Hill Courthouse. The Family Justice Center Courthouse in San Jose also hears traffic but has no code of its own on the DMV list, so ask a traffic clerk which code your case carries.

Before the final exam, Mirai Traffic School asks you to confirm your court and its code. Choose the courthouse your notice names, even if another one is closer to home.

Your case

Find your case, then ask for traffic school

Finding your case

Your citation reaches the court's system some time after you receive it, and only then does the court mail a courtesy notice with your options and a due date. You cannot pay the ticket or sign up for traffic school until the citation is in the system.

The court's traffic page links its Case Info website, where you can check whether your citation has been entered. If it is not there yet, call the number on your copy of the citation or the traffic line at (408) 556-3000.

The court's traffic page

How to ask for traffic school

Your courtesy notice lists your options and the due date, and the court's traffic school questions page explains what happens after the course. Santa Clara County Superior Court sets the bail and the traffic school fees, and the notice shows what you owe. Ask once the citation is in the court's system and before the due date on the notice.

If your ticket also has a fix-it violation, the notice says whether you can pay for it or must show proof of correction. A police officer signs off equipment violations, the DMV signs off license and registration violations, and a court clerk can sign off insurance, license and registration violations when you bring the right documents.

Your citation

From citation to certificate

What the court does with your ticket, and what Mirai Traffic School does for you.

From citation to certificate in Santa Clara County

What Santa Clara County Superior Court does with your ticket, step by step:

  1. 1

    You receive a citation

    The officer's ticket has a date at the bottom. If no courtesy notice arrives by that date, you must contact the court by phone or in person.

  2. 2

    You check the court's rules

    The court's bail schedule marks each offense as eligible for traffic school or not, and your courtesy notice tells you your options. If your ticket needs a mandatory appearance, you must go to court to set a court date first.

  3. 3

    You ask the court

    Respond by the due date on your courtesy notice, the way the notice describes. Traffic school adds a fee for monitoring traffic violator schools to the bail, and the court sets that amount.

  4. 4

    You finish a licensed course

    The court sends you to the DMV's traffic school search, and it accepts proof of completion only from a school the DMV has licensed. Mirai Traffic School is licensed by the DMV as E0756 and costs $24.99. The court sets how long you have to finish, and your notice shows the date.

  5. 5

    The court receives your completion

    The school notifies the court when you finish, and the court says there is nothing further for you to do.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What drivers ask about Santa Clara County Superior Court.

The statewide rules

This court, not the school, grants traffic school under Vehicle Code section 42005, and you pick any DMV-licensed school. A completed course keeps one conviction in 18 months confidential under section 1808.7. Read the full statewide rules on our California traffic school rules page.

California traffic school rulesCheck your eligibility

They name buildings that take no traffic. Code 43460 names the Palo Alto Courthouse, which the court lists for criminal cases only, and 43471 names the Santa Clara Courthouse, which is temporarily closed. Neither hears traffic, so use the courthouse your notice names.

Reserve a hearing online through the court's CourtSchedule tool, which the court recommends because of long waits on the phone and at the counter. You can also ask at the traffic clerk's office at South County or the Family Justice Center, or call (408) 556-3000.

When your ticket needs a mandatory appearance. The court names four reasons: the validation criteria require it, the court orders it, you have four or more prior traffic convictions, or you were cited for speeding at a dangerous speed.

No. The court says traffic cases must be heard in the county where you got the citation.

Show the court proof that you were insured on the date of the violation, or have the DMV sign off the citation. The clerk accepts a policy or an insurance card valid on that date, or a letter from the insurer, among other documents. The court charges a fee before it drops that charge.

The police agency mails you a notice with instructions. If you do not want to fight it, sign the notice and return it to the police agency with a copy of your driver's license. You have the right to contest it, and once the agency knows the citation is yours, the court handles it like any other.

No. Traffic court hears infractions such as speeding, equipment repairs and expired licenses. Reckless driving, DUI and vehicular manslaughter are misdemeanors or felonies, and the court's criminal pages cover them.
