FAQS

 

  • I received an Armed Forces Traffic Ticket, what do I need to do?

    • Please email Traffic Court after 7 days of receiving your ticket. Our information:

    • When emailing, please provide your citation number, date of citation, and what you were cited for.

  • What type of citation requires mandatory Traffic Court?

    • Traffic Court follows MCIPACO 5560.2B, which states what type of traffic accidents constitutes mandatory traffic court.

  • How can I find out how many points I have on my SOFA license?

    • Please utilize the point accumulation request form located in the form section of this website.

  • How many points require a suspension/revocation?

    • Accumulating 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months requires the mandatory suspension or revocation of the driving privilege.

  • I would like to claim responsibility for a ticket that was issued to another person because I was at fault.

    • Please fill out the claiming responsibility form in our forms tab on this website.

  • I received a temporary suspension due to expired vehicle documents and my SOFA license was taken by the MP, how can I get my license back?

Before we are allowed to release your SOFA license back, you would need to update your JCI/GOJ/PDI/ROAD TAX (whichever applies to you).  Another option would be to JUNK your vehicle and you would just provide proof of that as well.

If you plan to "junk" your car, you would just deregister your vehicle and provide the junk certificate to us.
