Defensive Driving School Fee Change Memo October 2021

DEFENSIVE DRIVING SCHOOL FEE CHANGE FORM OCTOBER 2021

NOTICE RE: TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH RENEWAL PORTAL

The Division has experienced multiple technical issues with the Salesforce renewal environment. It has taken a considerable amount of staff effort and time to make the corrections behind the scenes. Given that the end of the month is fast approaching, be assured that, provided a certificate holder has made a good faith effort to renew prior to the October 31st deadline, staff will hold their certification in active status as the remaining issues are worked through. If attempts to renew have been made prior to the October 1st deadline, the additional $50 fee will be waived. Unfortunately, given the volume of inquiries received, it has been challenging to maintain the level of responsiveness staff would like. However, all inquiries will be researched and responded to.

Thank you for your patience and please contact the Division with any additional questions/concerns.
