How do I pay or contest a citation?

Pay

You can pay your citation online, by phone, by mail, or in person though the Minnesota Judicial Branch.

Contest

If you would like to contest a citation, staff at the MN Court Payment Center (CPC) are available to discuss the appointment options for meeting with a Hearing Officer.

A Hearing Officer is authorized by the Court to hear citation cases and provide options. Depending on the facts of your case and your violation history, some of the options they may be able to offer include: 

  • plead guilty with an explanation
  • a reduced fine amount
  • a payment plan to pay the citation over time
  • a continuance for dismissal with payment of prosecution costs
  • set your case for arraignment.

You can learn more through the Minnesota Judicial Branch.
