If you are a District of Columbia resident and are seeking driver or vehicle services, you may enter a payment plan to settle outstanding tickets 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. 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. 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, mortgage, utility bill, etc).
• If you would like to contest your ticket, you must request a hearing before entering the payment plan.
• Once you are on the payment plan, you waive your right to a hearing for any ticket 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 DC residents.
• You must pay all boot, tow and storage fees.
• 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 can not be on more than one payment plan at the same time.
• You must successfully complete all previous payment plans.
