If you are a District of Columbia resident and are seeking driver or vehicle services, you may enter a payment plan to settle tickets 60 days overdue or insurance fines. You will have six months to pay off your tickets or insurance fines. During this time a six-month temporary license or vehicle registration will be issued. Payment in full is due by the end of the six-month period. To enter into a ticket payment plan, you must visit Adjudication Services in person. To establish an insurance payment plan, you can visit the Georgetown, Penn Branch or Southwest Service Center.

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 license or a non-Drivers identification card and your vehicle must be registered in the District of Columbia. If you are a DC resident, but need to get on a ticket payment plan in order to obtain a DC license/ID card and register a vehicle, you are still eligible for the payment plan as long as you can show proof of DC residency (i.e., current lease or mortgage AND utility bill showing the same address).
• If you would like to contest your ticket, you must request a hearing before entering the ticket payment plan.
• Once you are on the ticket payment plan, you waive your right to a hearing for any ticket included on the plan.
• Tickets issued after you start the ticket payment plan (including parking, traffic and photo enforcement tickets) do not become part of the ticket payment plan.
• Current regulations limit ticket and insurance payment plans to DC residents.
• For the ticket payment plan, you must pay all boot, tow and storage fees.
• For the ticket payment plan, you must answer any and all tickets issued to you after you start the plan; otherwise, your temporary license and/or registration may be revoked and your vehicle will subject to enforcement action.

• You cannot be on more than one payment plan, of the same type, at the same time. However, you can be on both a ticket payment plan and an insurance payment plan at the same time.
• You must successfully complete all previous payment plans.
