Notes & Tips
- Where to find your number: Your Citation/Ticket Number is at the top of the ticket in the “Ticket No.” box.
- Why a case may not appear: Cases in deferment, non-public status, or certain restricted matters may not display online. If you cannot locate a case, contact the Clerk’s Office at 616-632-5700 or, if applicable, the Probation Department at 616-632-5650 for guidance.
- New tickets: Traffic tickets may take up to 3 days after issuance to appear for payment.
- Warrants and orders to show cause: If a Bench Warrant or Order to Show Cause has been issued, you must come to court during business hours to address it. Paying online or by phone does not clear a warrant or OTSC.
- Confirmation: Save your online payment confirmation. Phone payments post the next business day.
Tip:
If you do not know your case number, search by your first and last name on Case Lookup to locate your case number.
