Can I keep my traffic ticket “off my record”?

If you have received a traffic infraction, you may be eligible for a deferral. By successfully completing a deferral, the Court will not report your ticket to the Department of Licensing. Review more about deferrals:

  • You may defer only one moving and one non-moving infraction every seven years.
  • The length of the deferral is one year.
  • To complete your deferral, you must pay an administrative fee and not commit a new traffic violation for one year.
  • If you commit a new traffic infraction during your deferral or fail to pay the administrative fee, the Court will report your deferred ticket as a conviction to the Department of Licensing.
