Please note: We can only answer questions for non-criminal moving traffic violations issued in the five boroughs of New York City. The DMV does not handle red light camera tickets or parking violation tickets. Ticketing systems are not able to process payments via live chat.
Traffic tickets that are issued outside of New York City are processed in the criminal or traffic court of the city, county, town or village where the alleged offense took place. To answer these types of traffic tickets, contact the court directly.
DMV does not handle parking violations or regulate parking. If you receive a parking ticket, you must respond to the locality where they were issued. Do not contact DMV.
If you fail to answer parking tickets, the locality can notify the DMV, which can prevent the renewal of your vehicle registration, or suspend your vehicle registration.
