IMPORTANT! All DMV Traffic Violations Bureaus (TVBs) are adjourned through April 17th. Those who are scheduled to appear during this time will receive an adjournment notice from the DMV.
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].
