I was reading this board. I have couple traffic tickets for speeding. Fines are less than $500. All of them resolved
through traffic attorney. I have recipts for some of them. Some of them are lost.

1. Is the paid reciept of fine enough to show as proof at interview.?

2. For lost reciepts, how do i get proof that it got resolved ?


Thanks for the reply.
 
"Some of a couple" have receipts, and "Some of a couple" are lost. Exactly how many tickets are there?

You can ask the county clerk for disposition of lost tickets. Contact the county where you got tickets and go from there.

While they do not make an issue of a couple of tickets, your counts do not seem right. Also, resolving them through "traffic attorney" does not give me a good feeling. Think through what you have.

4 tickets spread out over multiple years shouldn't be much of an issue. Given your vague initial number of tickets, sanjose was likely alluding that this could sound fishy for an IO: if there's a pattern of repeated (6?, 10?, more tickets?, there is no hard number, an IO might conclude that you'd routinely ignore the law and determine you'd lack GMC. I doubt 4 tickets are such a pattern, but my opinion matters not, the IO's does.
List the tickets on your N-400 as citations. While waiting to get the interview letter, go get court dispositions from your county court, as sanjose advised. Bring those documents to the interview and show them, should the IO need more info (some do, some don't, depends on your personal case situation and the IO).
 
Do i have to get court dispositons for the tickets, for which i have reciepts, which shows i paid fine.

Thanks

Just get a driving report from MVA and thats fine. Do not worry if you got speeding ticket through Camera or parking ticket as those are civil issues. You should only be concerned about the tickets where Cop pulled over and asked for car registration and your driving licence.
Certified Reports can be obtained for 12 bucks from MVA and they are good enough. The report arrives in less than 1 week by orderering online.

Remember, incidents like DUI and traffic violations where Cop intrecepted are the concern area's. Stay focussed on those.

GL!

I think MVA is Motor vechicle administraion. I got My driving history from Missouri driving license office. By
paying $10. The record did not have any restrictions or any speeding tickets which i had. It is all clean. I
think because i resolved them on time and made sure it did not effect my license or increase my car insurance.
Thats what you are saying to get?. Will that be sufficient ?

Thanks
 
How many times were you pulled over by Cop and asked to show your registration and driver license? If none, you are fine.
If you had traffic violation through Camera's, you should not worry as Camera clicks Vehicle plate number and there is NO way to figure out the driver driving the car. These are civil issues and has NO impact on your records, insurance etc. if you have paid the fine.
I called in 1-800 number printed on ticket and he explained me thoroughly.
 
Sorry iam confused, how to handle this. I got pulled by cop for speeding 4 times. And i got ticket. I resolved all of them by giving to traffic hotline attorney. All were fines less than $500. The attorney represented the court and Told me how much i have to pay the fine. And i sent the fine.
recently i went to DMV office and got driving record. it was instant they charge me around $10. The tickets did not show up. and the record is clean. So iam ok or i have worry about getting more docs from court OR search for RECIEPTS which i paid the fine.
Thanks for clarifications.

DMVs keep the records for some # of years - e.g. 5 yrs or 7 yrs. Any tickets before that time will not show up on DMV record. Ask your DMV how long they keep the records. If the tickets were before that ask if there is any way they can pull older data.

Talked to Missouri DMV office. They hold record for up to 3 years. They don't have option to retrive
beyond that. These tickets are between 4 to 7 years back. What should i do.

Experts your opinion. Thanks.
 
Another thing is if your tickets dont have any points,it wont get reported to DMV or insurance and the DMV records will not have them at all even if it is less than three years old. I guess those kinds of tickets might not even show up in the USCIS records, unless USCIS checks all court records across the country. If your points are minor and does not involve any points, you may not even declare it in your N400, but get the paperworks ready in case the IO specifically ask about traffic tickets then you can show the proof that you paid them all.
 
you have two options on payment receipts (or proof of payment). one is receipts from payment when you got ticket(s). other is, county traffic court where you got tickets and eventually paid off will issue certfied court disposition ($3.50 each copy for each ticket) and this disposition will have all information like when and where you were cited, what is the offense (like sppeing 60 MPH zone-70MPH etc.), what is the status of citation (paid and closed, etc) and what is the final disposition of the case (closed, etc).
if you still have payment receipts with you, take those receipts with you to the interview along with DMV record.
if you do not have receipts from when you originally paid off tickets, go to county/city traffic court (assuming all your 4 tickets are in same county/city), and request certified court dispositions; pay $14 (4 X 3.50 for each ticket) and take those certified court dispositions from all tickets to interview. Either way, take certified driver record with you.
 
multiple traffic tickets N-400 - will it be a problem?

I have been in the US about 8 years and I am preparing to apply for citizenship. I had 5 traffic tickets (speeding, all under $500 and all amended to non-moving vioations), 1 ticket for driving with expired license plate and multiple parking tickets (all $10-50). If I list them all, the list looks long and scary. Will such driving record create any issues at the interview? Can I just say "traffic tickets 2005-2013, all fines paid" or do I need to list each one individually? All of the tickets have been paid.
