What if I Got a "Fix-it" Ticket?

en español>

If a police officer gives you a "fix-it" ticket on a "Notice to Appear," the "yes" box will be checked below "Correctable Violation" on the front of the ticket.

  1. First, you have to have the mechanical problem corrected.
  2. Once you have fixed the problem, take your ticket to a police station and ask a police officer to sign the “Certificate of Correction” on your ticket.
  3. Return the signed-off copy to the court with the fees shown on your courtesy notice before the deadline. To learn how to pay your fees, click here.
  • You can check your ticket or contact the court to see if the court accepts proof of correction by mail.
  1. The court will then dismiss your case and it won't go on your record.


NOTE:

  • If you no longer own the vehicle, it is still your responsibility to clear the citation by either paying the bail or appearing in court.
  • If you have junked the car, and appear in court, a receipt from the wrecking yard may be acceptable to clear this citation.
