How to Do Traffic School for a Central Justice Center Ticket

The Central Justice Center sits in the Civic Center area of Santa Ana and is the Orange County branch most drivers from Santa Ana, Orange, Tustin, and Villa Park are likely to see on traffic paperwork. Your case still runs through Orange County's countywide traffic system, so use My Court Portal or the traffic phone line to confirm eligibility before starting Freeway Traffic School (E1745).

1

Look Up the Case in My Court Portal

Use your OC Pay # or citation details at cup.occourts.org. Central Justice Center filings can be busy around the Santa Ana Civic Center, so rely on the portal status or call (657) 622-8459 rather than guessing from the ticket date alone.

2

Pay the Court's $54 Admin Fee

When traffic school is allowed, pay your bail amount plus Orange County Superior Court's $54 traffic school administrative fee through My Court Portal, by phone, by mail, or in person. This court fee is separate from any course payment when you pass. Verify the current fee with the court because court fees can change.

3

Start the Course Free

Choose "Start Free" once the court has granted traffic school. The course is online, self-paced, available in English or Spanish, and built with unlimited retries. You only pay when you pass, and there are no hidden fees.

4

Finish & We E-File

When you pass the final, Freeway Traffic School electronically files your completion to the court and DMV. Keep your completion record and give the court time to update the Central Justice Center case status.

⚠️ Your Central Justice Center deadline: Orange County gives you 90 days from the date the court processes your traffic school payment, not 90 days from the stop or the appearance date. Central Santa Ana cases often start with a mailed Violation Information Notice, so match your OC Pay # to the portal and request the one available 30-day extension before the deadline if you need it.

Going to the DMV? You probably don't need to

Traffic school completion is filed electronically, so a Central Justice Center driver normally does not need to visit the DMV for this course. If you need DMV service for another reason, the Santa Ana field office is at 1330 E First St, Santa Ana, CA 92701. That DMV office is separate from the courthouse; your traffic school permission and deadline come from Orange County Superior Court.
