DMV only processes New York City traffic tickets

DMV's Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) processes tickets for non-criminal moving traffic violations (no other DMV services) issued in the 5 boroughs of New York City. The DMV does not handle red light camera tickets.  See information about how to plead to or pay a TVB ticket [1].

Traffic tickets that are issued outside of  New York City [2] are processed in the criminal or traffic court of the city, county, town, or village where the alleged offense took place. To answer these, contact the local court directly [3].
