In order to qualify for a compliance dismissal you must provide the court with written documentation and proof that you brought the deficiencies into compliance on or before your initial appearance date and pay a $20 dollar dismissal fee depending on the violation.

If your citation and the supporting documentation meet the legal requirement(s) for dismissal, the violation will be dismissed and not reported to the Department of Public Safety as a conviction against your driving record.

***Please note that certain infractions may be eligible for five (5) additional business days in order to bring them into compliance.
