- 1). Get the license plate number of the vehicle involved in the matter. If possible, obtain any other information, such as the registration and title for the vehicle, which will likely help in obtaining the ticket information. Also, identify the date in which the ticket was issued, if known.
- 2). Go to the local office of the Department of Motor Vehicles. This department can be found by looking in your telephone book or by performing an Internet search. Once you obtain the address of the office, go to the location with the information you have regarding the matter.
- 3). At the Department of Motor Vehicles, present the information to the attendant. Present your driver's license, title and registration for the vehicle for which the ticket was issued. Explain why you do not have the traffic ticket and show the attendant the documentation you have.
- 4). Obtain a copy of the ticket that day from the attendant or find out what the Department of Motor Vehicles requires you to do in order to obtain a copy of the ticket. If you must appear in court to contest the ticket, find out the specific dates in which you must appear and the court's requirements. Alternatively, if you would like to plead guilty to the ticket and pay a fine, ask how to do so while at the office.
