Check your state in the grid below.

The grid widely represents state options, but it notes if your city or county might actually have a system in place that allows you to view traffic tickets online.

As you’ll see in the grid, some states allow you to view traffic ticket information online and pay the fee if you already have identifying information such as the ticket number. Clearly, this won’t help you if you’ve lost the citation – unless you had the foresight to record the ticket number somewhere.

Remember that it’s important to pay your traffic ticket on time; otherwise, you risk additional fees and penalties. If you can’t view traffic tickets online in your area, contact the law enforcement agency that issued the citation, the courts or your DMV or related state agency to ask about obtaining a copy.

NOTE: This grid deals with the kinds of tickets that are considered traffic tickets or moving violations. For example, if you have a speeding ticket, this grid can help you. It does not deal with parking tickets. Usually, each town, city, and county has its own separate payment system in place for parking tickets.
