    Failing to pay your traffic ticket in Tennessee could result in losing your driving privileges, among other consequences.

    Top In-state Tickets

    Traffic tickets received in Tennessee must be paid to the court of the city or county in which the ticket was issued. If you aren't sure or can't remember where you need to pay your ticket, call the Tennessee Department of Safety (DOS) at (615) 741-3954.

    Top Late Payment

    If you're late paying your ticket, you risk having your license suspended. Call the DOS at (615) 741-3954 for information about any late payments and any reinstatement fees you may owe due to license suspension.

    Top Defensive Driving School

    Any option you have of attending a Tennessee Defensive Driving School (DDS) in order to lower ticket cost, or as an alternative to paying a ticket, is entirely up to the court. Visit our Traffic Tickets section for more information.

    Top Out-of-state Tickets

    Sometimes paying a ticket you get in another state can be a bit more of a hassle simply because you don't live in that state. Yet the payment process won't differ that much from paying a ticket you receive in Tennessee.

    In the event that you receive a ticket in another state, make sure to ask the officer for information on where to appear for court, payment procedures, and locations. You can also check the back of the citation or contact the magistrate court in the county where you received the ticket.
