Maine Violations Bureau

Tracking down a lost citation is relatively easy since all ME traffic violations are handled by the Maine Judicial Branch Violations Bureau. This includes ticket payments, pleas, and replacing lost traffic tickets.

Contact ME Violations Bureau

If you've lost your Maine citation, call the Violations Bureau at (207) 783-5422. Don't delay. You must respond to your citation within 20 days of receiving it. Failing to respond within this timeframe could lead to your drivers license getting suspended.

When you call you will need to provide your first name, last name, date of birth and license number. The Violations Bureau agent will then locate your traffic ticket's citation number and inform you on how to pay the ticket or request a court date.

Determine How You Will Plead

Once you have your ME ticket information, you must decide on how to plead. In Maine you have three options:

• Guilty
• No contest
• Not Guilty

The first two options require paying the fine listed on your citation. Opting to plead not guilty requires requesting a court date and challenging the charges.

NOTE: If you've lost your traffic ticket, but have the citation number, you can access your violation record, check a court date or pay your ticket online through Maine's PayTixx website
