Traffic violations and online ticket payments
Clark County traffic case information is handled through the Clerk’s traffic violations resources. The traffic page explains payment options, common questions, traffic court dates, and the Infraction Deferral Program.
The Clerk’s Office states that it does not send text messages about traffic tickets, unpaid fines, or payment requests. Do not click links or provide payment information from a text message claiming to be from the office.
For online ticket payment, Indiana ePay allows searches by ticket number, driver’s license number, or name and date of birth. Not every ticket is available or eligible for online payment. If the ticket is recent, wait at least 10 business days before assuming it is missing from the system.
Use Indiana online ticket payment for eligible traffic tickets, or review the Clerk’s traffic violations information for local payment instructions.
