    Default What to Do if You Lose an Out-of-State Traffic Ticket

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Oregon
    About four months ago while in Oregon, I received a speeding ticket. I have since lost the ticket, don't remember what the issuing jurisdiction was and have not received anything in the mail. I've tried contacting various jurisdictions and courts in the general area where I got the ticket, but haven't connected with anyone who can help me get this resolved. I live in California and wonder what will happen if I can't get any info on the ticket and thus can't either pay it, contest it or go to traffic school. What will ultimately happen if I don't respond?

    Default Re: Received Out of State Ticket, Lost Ticket and Haven't Received Anything in Mail

    Unlike California, most jurisdictions do not send out courtesy notices. In Oregon it could either be the circuit court or a municipal justice court that has your ticket. Many of these have online search/payment web pages.

    If you don't deal with it, there will be additional levies. Usually, those you will get in the mail. If you continue to ignore it, your ability to drive in Oregon will be suspended. You may find it impossible to renew your license in California once Oregon "suspends" you.
