If You Were Ticketed in Hennepin or Ramsey County

How you search depends on where you were ticketed. If you were ticketed in either Hennepin (Minneapolis) or Ramsey (St. Paul) County, you can search for your ticket online using one of the two following links:

• Hennepin County
• Ramsey County

You can find your traffic ticket using any one of the following search options:

• You citation number
• Name and date of birth
• Driver's license number
• License plate number
• Case number

If you don't see your ticket, it means it probably has not been entered into the court's database yet. Give it a few days before trying again.

You also have the option to search your Minnesota traffic ticket by phone. Call (651) 281-3219 and use any of the search options described above.

If You Were Ticketed Outside of the Metro Area

If you were ticketed elsewhere across Minnesota, outside of either Ramsey or Hennepin County, you can search online, but only if you have your citation number.

Otherwise dial (800) 657-3611. A Minnesota Court Payment Center agent will be able to retrieve your citation using any one of the following search options:

• Name and date of birth
• Driver's license number
• License plate number

Determine How You Will Plead

Once you've recovered your traffic ticket information, you'll need to submit one of two pleas:

• Guilty
• Not Guilty

Be sure to notify the court of your plea within your ticket's given timeframe, which, depending on where you were ticketed, will either be 21 or 30 days.
