Starting on the date you paid your fine and elected traffic school each county gives you anywhere from 60 days to 120 days to complete your course and give the Clerk of Court a copy of your Traffic School Certificate.
Each county clerk has their own procedure. Most Florida Counties have a form called an affidavit you fill out when you pay your traffic ticket to elect traffic school.
