When you are issued a parking, photo enforcement or minor moving violation ticket in the District, please visit the understanding the ticket timeline webpage to know your options.

Do not pay the ticket if you want to admit with an explanation or contest it. Once you pay the ticket (either the original fine, the penalty or both), you no longer have the administrative option to adjudicate it. 

DC DMV offers online or by mail adjudication of parking or photo enforcement ticket fines and penalties.
