Tickets
What if I don't respond to a ticket?
Minor moving violations
If you don't pay or contest the minor moving violation ticket within 30 calendar days of the date the ticket was issued, a penalty equal to the fine amount is added (the ticket doubles).
If you fail to respond to the ticket within 60 calendar days, the ticket goes into default (i.e., it becomes delinquent), you are no longer eligible for a hearing, and you must pay all fines and penalties. Also, minor moving violation tickets that are in default will result in the suspension of your DC license (for residents) or your DC driving privileges (for non-residents) until tickets are paid and your license is reinstated.
Parking Tickets
If you don't pay or contest the parking ticket within 30 calendar days, a penalty equal to the fine amount is added (the ticket doubles).
If you don’t pay or contest the parking ticket within 60 calendar days, the ticket goes into default (i.e., it becomes delinquent), you are no longer eligible for a hearing, and you must pay all fines and penalties (a $5 default fee is added to the ticket after the 60 day period).
If you have parking tickets that are in default, you will be unable to receive services from the DMV until tickets are paid.
Vehicles can be booted for
two or more delinquent tickets.
Photo Enforcement
If you don't pay or contest the Photo Enforcement ticket within 30 calendar days, a penalty equal to the fine amount is added (the ticket doubles).
If you don’t pay or contest the Photo Enforcement ticket within 60 calendar days, the ticket goes into default (i.e., it becomes delinquent), you are no longer eligible for a hearing, and you must pay all fines and penalties.
If you have Photo Enforcement tickets that are in default, you will be unable to receive services from the DMV until tickets are paid.
