Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have a block or forfeiture on my registration or license?
This will happen if you failed to appear for a “must appear” hearing or if you did not pay a waivable ticket on time. This can also occur if a balance of fines owed on a case was sent to collections, in which case the balance will need to be paid in full in order to release the block/forfeiture.
When is my court date?
