Print a Substitute Ticket
If your Traffic Violations Ticket (TVB) traffic ticket is lost or destroyed, you can print a substitute ticket online. The ticket you are replacing must be an 'open' or unpaid ticket AND it must have the words 'Traffic Violations Bureau' at the bottom (see a sample TVB ticket). If the ticket has been dismissed, or if there was a conviction and the fines, the fees and the surcharges were all paid, the ticket is a 'closed' ticket.
What You Will Need
You will need the TVB traffic ticket number. If you do not have the ticket number, enter all the other information to determine if the DMV can locate the ticket record.
You will also need either your DMV ID Number (Client ID Number) from your New York State driver license, learner permit or non-driver photo ID card (see a sample driver license) OR your full name, date of birth, and gender.
More Information
Once you provide information for one open TVB traffic ticket, you will be able to print any open TVB traffic ticket(s) you have. You will need to print them one at a time.
If a traffic ticket is not available to print, the transaction will give you instructions on what you can do. Read all messages in the transaction carefully.
If the traffic ticket was not answerable to a Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB), you cannot use this transaction for the ticket. The TVB does not handle parking violations, criminal driving violations (for example, DWI) or tickets answerable in a local court.
