Proof of corrections

If your citation includes mechanical, registration, or license violations your fine will be reduced if you provide proof of correction on or before the due date. Proof of correction may be obtained at any law enforcement office during normal business hours. If you do not provide proof of correction, you will be required to pay the full fine amount of your citation. Proof received after the fine is paid will not be eligible for a reduction.

If you have a correctable violation and are submitting proof of correction to the court, you must submit $25.00 for each corrected violation.

If you were cited for failure to provide proof of insurance or financial responsibility pursuant to 16028(a) of the Vehicle Code and you did not have insurance on the date of the violation you will be required to pay the full fine amount. If you obtain proof of insurance after the date of violation, the court will reduce your fine amount. If you had proof of insurance at the time the citation was issued, but were unable to provide proof to the officer who cited you, the violation is dismissible with proof of insurance and a $25.00 correction fee.
