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

    Top In-state Tickets

    In West Virginia, payment locations can vary. For example, in some counties the payment location usually depends on what officer gave you the ticket. For example, if you are given a ticket by a state police officer or deputy, you'll most likely need to pay the ticket in magistrate court, but if the ticket is given by a city police officer, you'll need to contact the city court.

    Check the back of your citation for further information. If none is included, or you find it confusing, you can contact the officer who gave you the ticket, or the officer's station. If you don't particularly feel like chatting with the police, call your local courthouse or magistrate court for information.

    For information about unpaid West Virginia tickets, please call (304) 558-2058.

    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 doesn't differ that much from paying a ticket you receive in West Virginia.

    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, etc. You can also check the back of the citation or contact the magistrate court in the county where you received the ticket.

    For information about unpaid out-of-state tickets, please call (304) 558-0238.

    Top Traffic School

    West Virginia uses a points system for traffic violations. If you have 11 or fewer points against your driving record, and no outstanding tickets that would put you over the 12 point limit, you can take an approved defensive driving course and have three points deducted from your record. You are only eligible for this reduction once every two years. For more information, contact the DMV at 1-800-642-9066.

    Any option you have of attending traffic school or a defensive driving course in order to lower ticket cost, or as an alternative to paying a ticket, is entirely up to the court. Contact them for further information.
