Occupational Licensing Online Portal

Make sure to start your license
renewal application early—
especially if you're unfamiliar
with the new online system!

As your traffic safety education curriculum provider, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) works constantly to make sure you're informed of the latest happenings in our industry. We've previously published blog posts (here, and in a follow-up) about the transition by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to improved online services for occupational licensees and applicants. The new system has been operational for a few months now, and you are strongly encouraged to use it for fast, secure processing of your renewals and any other services that are offered via that portal.

A recent Occupational Licensing Industry News (OLIN) bulletin from DMV (OLIN 2023-03) adds some further details. In particular, remember:

• Before using online services, users need to create a new or have an existing MyDMV account and must validate their identity to connect to their OL information. User tips and step-by-step instructions are available at dmv.ca.gov/olonline and through OL team members who are ready to assist you at 916 . 229 . 3126.
• Temporary OLs for original and renewal applications will be issued digitally.
• The DMV plans further upcoming additions to their online OL portal.

As always, when assembling your license renewal, make sure to get started early to allow for complications—especially if you're not familiar with the new process!

Transition to the Cloud

As your traffic safety education curriculum provider, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) is constantly working to optimize the functionality and reliability of its information technology (IT) systems to ensure a premium experience for you and your students. In service of these efforts, we are currently transitioning our systems to a cloud computing service provider in the hopes of further improving access and availability.

The bulk of the transition has been completed, and we are anticipating finishing up the process in the next week or two. Our IT team performed extensive planning and testing prior to the start of this project, and we do not expect any service interruptions. However, should you experience any problems with your sites or services, from now through approximately March 17, please immediately alert us to the situation by calling 800-341-5554.

We thank you for your patience during this transition period, and look forward to delivering an improved traffic school experience!
