So I got my yellow letter yesterday. There are two items they ask me to bring for interview:

1. State DL - non-issue - have mine.

2. The letter says that I have indicated I have been arrested (answered yes to arrested / detained / cited) and that I should bring original or certified copy of court order detailing disposition of the case.

The only tickets I have are one speeding ticket and one failure to obey hwy. sign ticket - both under $100 fines. I know VA Courts have case information system and I have the print outs from there showing the tix were prepaid. Are those considered original? Or do I have to approach both general district courts and request them record of the tickets and fines paid?

To get original, go to or call the court that handle your ticket, they will
make a photocopy of disposition and stamp something "I certified this is authentic copy of original blahblah". If you can not go to court in person,
write a letter with a self-stamp envelope and a check for processing fees.

Yeah - I too thought so but still already had mailed the printouts of said tickets with the application. But the yellow letter still says bring those - so I am confused.

The yellow letter is a generic letter and refers to court documents for more serious offenses, not minor traffic tickets.
