Public Access Portal

Access your citation, ticket, or warning online.

If you received a citation, ticket, or warning from an agency that uses Trusted Driver, you may be able to access your information online through the Public Access Portal.

Trusted Driver provides software used by law enforcement and courts.

We do not process citations and cannot resolve cases.

For questions about your options, deadlines, or payments, contact the court listed on your citation or notice.

How to Access Your Citation or Warning

Access to the Public Access Portal is provided at the time of issuance. Agencies and courts provide access using the QR code or link given to you. There is not one universal portal link.

You can access your record in one of the following ways:

Scan the QR Code Provided at Issuance

Most citations and warnings include a QR code. Scanning the code directs you to the Public Access Portal, where you will enter identifying information to locate your record.

  • Your citation or notice number
  • Court or agency contact information
  • Court date, if applicable
  • A direct link to access your digital record


Message timing and content are controlled by the issuing authority.
