Q. I have an old ticket, how do I clear it up?
 
A. If you have the ticket number and you know the courthouse location where the ticket was pending, you may go to the Special Service Section of the Clerk's office at the courthouse to receive complete and accurate information regarding the disposition of the ticket.

If you do not know the ticket number you can go to any clerk's office and have them search for a ticket number. Alternatively, you may go to the local office of the Secretary of State and obtain a copy of your driving record.

Your driving record will contain the following information:

• ticket number;
• date the ticket was issued;
• location where the case was pending; and
• the disposition.

After you obtain this information, go to the clerk's office where the ticket was pending to receive information on how to resolve the ticket.

Warning: Seek legal advice before acting. You may unknowingly hurt your driving record. The staff of the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court are not allowed to give legal advice. They may only provide information concerning the disposition of the ticket and what fines are due.
