Can I pay in installments?
If you are a District of Columbia resident and are seeking driver
or vehicle services, you may enter a one-time payment plan to settle
outstanding insurance fines. You will have six months to pay the
balance due and you must show proof of valid insurance for any registered
vehicles prior to entering into the payment plan. During this time
a temporary license or vehicle registration will be issued for a
period of six months. Payment in full is due by the end of the six-month
period. Payment plan requirements are listed below:
- Your fines must total at least $250
- You must deposit at least 25% of the total amount due to start
the plan
- You must have a DC driver's license or a non-driver's identification
card and your vehicle must be registered in the District of Columbia
- You must exhaust your administrative hearing rights for any
tickets included on the plan.
- Tickets issued after you start the plan (including parking,
traffic and photo enforcement tickets) do not become part of the
payment plan.
- Current regulations limit payment plans to one time and only
for DC residents.
- You must answer any and all tickets issued to you during the
time you are on the plan or your temporary license and/or registration
will be revoked.
You may apply for more than one payment plan. However, you must meet the following conditions:
- You can not be on more than one payment plan at the same time.
- You must successfully complete all previous payment plans.
