Can you pay a seat belt ticket online in Florida?

Answer 1

Yes, you can pay a North Carolina seat belt ticket online (see the North Carolina Ticket Payment related link). Failure to wear a seatbelt in either the front or back seat is an offense for which court appearance can be waived in North Carolina. In other words, you don't have to go to the court apperance if you pay the fine before the court date. Be aware that paying the fine amounts to a guilty plea to the offense.

To pay online, you will need your citation number (located on the ticket), or you can use the online system to look up the citation number by defendant name. The online vendor that processes the payments will charge a fee on top of the ticket cost. For more information on North Carolina online court resources, and for a directory of courts in North Carolina, visit the North Carolina Courts Guide related link.

Answer 2

It depends on where the ticket was issued. Many Florida counties allow payment of traffic tickets through a statewide system. Counties that are not part of this statewide system may have their own online payment system available through the county website.

The best thing to do is visit the Florida Courts Online Fine Payment Guide related link. Follow the statewide link at the top of the page and see if your county is one of those named. if not, scroll down the page and look for payment links for your county. One of the benefits of the statewide system is that it allows users to look up citations by driver license number and date of birth in addition to citation number. That way, if you have lost your ticket, you can still pay it online.

Keep in mind that by paying a traffic ticket online, you are admitting guilt to the violation.
