- I received an Armed Forces Traffic Ticket, what do I need to do?
Email the citation admin office (click here) within 7 days of receiving your ticket.
Please provide the following information in your email:
Citation number (USMC ------)
date of offense
location
what you were cited for
your email
primary phone number
unit
unit representative
your plea (guilty/no contest/not guilty)
MCBPAC.MCBBUTLER.TRA@USMC.MIL
*** If you would like to contest your citation, then you will enter a "not guilty" plea***
- What type of citation requires mandatory Traffic Court?
Traffic Court follows MCIPAC MCBBO 5560.1C, which states offenses that constitute mandatory traffic Court hearings. The citation admin office will assign a Traffic Court date when a "not guilty" plea is entered. ***Please understand that any case (alcohol related, accident/collision, etc.) could take a few months or more to complete investigations. Once cases are finalized, traffic court can be scheduled and/or the case adjudicated. ***
- How can I find out how many points I have on my SOFA license?
Please utilize the point accumulation request form to request this information.
- How does the point system work/how many points am I allowed?
Accumulating 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months requires a mandatory suspension or revocation of driving privileges.
12 points = 6-month suspension of your driving privileges
18 points = 1-year revocation of driving privileges.
After 24 months (from the citation date) points do not count anymore. There is no way to remove points from your record, they stay on your record for 24 months. Offenses are still considered as your driving history, even after points are dropped off.
- What if I was issued a parking citation, but I let someone else drive my car?
Please fill out a Claim of Responsibility form. The person who was issued the citation is the "Offender" and the person taking responsibility is the "claimant". The person claiming responsibility needs to digitally sign using a CAC or come into the citation admin office and sign in person.
- I received a temporary suspension due to EXPIRED VEHICLE REGISTRATION and my SOFA license was taken by the MP, how can I get my license back?
To get reinstated, you will need to either: update your registration requirements (JCI, PDI, GOJ, Road Tax) -OR- Junk and deregister your vehicle.
Step 1: Was there an accident? If there was an accident and you were not updated on insurance, you need to contact the claims office! 645-7460 (we need a letter of General release and proof of closed claims, before reinstatement-even if you update your vehicle paperwork)
Step 2: No accident? ---> What was expired? PDI (insurance) only- then go pay for a new insurance plan, take it to JSVRO to update the system, and bring all documents into the Traffic Court office for reinstatement of your driving privileges. (if there was an accident you cannot get reinstated until damages have been covered) Once reinstated you can remove your vehicle from the impound lot.
Step 3: JCI expired ---> you need to go purchase the JCI from the insurance company, then go to vehicle registration office to apply for temporary plates. (you cannot drive with the temp plates, since you are suspended) Once issued the temp plates, you can have someone get your vehicle out of the impound lot and drive it to go get the GOJ inspection done on your vehicle. After completing the inspection, you need to return the temp plates and documents to JSVRO and then bring proof to our office of updated registration requirements.
***Before we are allowed to release your SOFA license back, you need to update your JCI/GOJ/PDI/ROAD TAX (whichever applies to you) and be in compliance with claims. Proof needs to be brought into the citation admin office located at PMO, building 496 on Camp Foster. ***
If you plan to "junk" your car, you just deregister your vehicle and provide the junk/deregistration certificate to us.
For specific inspection processes visit JSVRO.
