My license was suspended or revoked. How do I get it back?
What is the statute of limitations on traffic tickets?
Answer
The ticket will have the name and address of the court to whom you must appear should you wish to contest the ticket.
If you lost your ticket, you must contact the court or traffic violations bureau that issued it. The court can be a city court, or a town and village court.
If you cannot find the court that issued the ticket, the NY DMV's call center may be able to help you. Read the New York State Troopers FAQ for a description of that service.
Court Help has pages on traffic cases and traffic infractions.

There is information on "Monthly Installment Payment Plans for Vehicle & Traffic Offenses" on the nycourts.gov website.
There is no statute of limitations on payment of fines for traffic or speeding tickets after a finding of guilty by plea or default.
