- 1). Determine which county and state the traffic citation was issued and if possible, the police department. This can usually be found by locating the area where your ticket was issued and simply locating the police departments that work within that particular area. Each police agency has its own jurisdiction, therefore locating the specific agency that issued the ticket should be a snap.
- 2). Contact the issuing agency by phone. Be prepared to give the clerk your full name and driver's license number. If you don't have a driver's license, provide your date of birth.
- 3). Write down the citation number given to you. This information is useful should you need to pay your traffic ticket online at the traffic courts website.
