This would depend on the State in which the ticket was issued. In most States traffic violations are not in the same category as criminal violations. Again this is governed by State law so you would need to know the specifics of your State.

Does a shoplifting ticket with no arrest show up on a background check?

It can depend on several factors, including the policies of the agency conducting the background check.

However, more thorough checks or specialized searches might uncover this information.


How many points does a traffic ticket lower your credit score?

Traffic citations do not affect your credit score. Traffic citations for moving violations that result in a conviction for that offense (in other words, you don't contest the ticket) will affect your driving record and often can affect your insurance costs if your insurance company reviews your driving record. Your credit score is based on credit items where money was extended to you with a promise of repayment, such as credit cards, mortgage loans, and auto loans. If you do not pay a court debt and a judgment or collection item is reported against you it is feasible that it could eventually show on your credit report, although this may not be common.


What does a criminal mischief citation do?
