Lost your speeding ticket how do you find a copy?

If you have misplaced or cannot find your speeding ticket, several steps can help you find a copy:

Check Your Records:

- Verify your driving record: Most government agencies that handle traffic violations keep a record of your violations. Check your driving record online or by contacting your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the relevant transportation authority in your area.

Contact the Issuing Agency:

- Police or Courthouse: If you can recall the agency that issued the ticket (e.g., police department or traffic court), directly contact them. They might have copies or records of the traffic ticket.

Case Lookup Online:

- Some jurisdictions may offer online case lookup tools. Search using your ticket number, name, or other relevant information to find details about your traffic ticket.

File a Public Records Request:

- Under public records laws, you might be able to obtain a copy of your traffic ticket by submitting a public records request to the appropriate agency. They may charge a small fee for this service.

Request from Your Lawyer (If Applicable):

- If you previously hired an attorney to handle your traffic ticket, reach out to them to inquire if they have a copy or can help retrieve one for you.

Traffic Court Clerk's Office:

- If you find the court case number, you can contact the clerk's office of the court where the traffic violation occurred. They may be able to provide a copy or details about your speeding ticket.

Contact the Prosecuting Attorney:

- If the case was filed with the prosecutor's office, you may want to contact them to see if they have a copy of the traffic ticket.
