Instructions

Procedure

It may take up to 7 days for your ticket to be available on this Web site. The unavailability of your ticket/case on this Web site does not release you from paying the ticket by the due date. The screens following these instructions will walk you through the payment procedure. You will be able to search for your ticket(s)/case(s) by:

1. Ticket/case number and last name or
2. Driver's license number and last name
3. If your search is unable to locate any results, please contact the court directly.

The ticket number is located at the top of your ticket and may be in red or black ink. Please include both alpha and numeric characters in your search. (Example 25OS00123).

The case number is located on your court paperwork and will contain a hyphen. Search the entire case number. (Example: 25-001234R).

When your search results are returned, please be sure to choose the correct ticket(s)/case(s) you wish to pay. Full payment is expected; partial payments are allowed only if approved by the court at the time the assessments were imposed. For payments of incorrect amounts, you will receive a credit or invoice.

Payment will be allowed by VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express only. Once your payment has been approved, you will have the option of printing a receipt.

No Proof of Insurance Tickets

Disclaimers

By paying a ticket via this Web site, the defendant is admitting responsibility for the ticket and is waiving his/her right to a hearing. Once a defendant admits responsibility for a ticket, if applicable for the offense listed on the ticket, an abstract is processed with Secretary of State to assess points on the defendant's driving record.

Admit Responsibility

I enter my appearance, waive my right to a hearing, and I admit responsibility for the civil infraction alleged on this ticket. I understand that there may be points assessed through the Secretary of State, which will appear on my driving record.

Please note: If the court has approved a payment plan that allows you to make partial payments on your civil infraction, simply change the Payment Amount field on the "Pay my Ticket" screen and proceed through checkout.
