Washington D.C. Speeding Ticket Info
How do I pay my traffic ticket?
There are a few different options available to you when taking care of your ticket/fine. Delaying taking care of it will only get you additional fines on top of the ones you've already got. If paying in person, you may report to the DMV's Adjudicated Service location. Bring along with you the ticket and you can pay it there. Even if you don't still have the ticket you can present your license and have a copy printed out for you. You can also go online and pay your ticket using your credit card. The final way is obviously to mail it in. Using check or money order, make it out to “DC Treasurer” (as sending cash is never a good idea). You'll also want to record the ticket number on which ever payment you end up using.
Where can I send my payment / information?
Mail your parking ticket and payment to:
DMV Adjudication Services
P.O. Box 2014
Washington, DC 20013
Mail your photo enforcement ticket and payment to:
Automated Traffic Enforcement
P.O. Box 37075
