Finding Your Court Address

Finding Your Court Address

Submitting your Trial by Written Declaration to the correct court is essential. Here's how to find the right address.

Check Your Citation First

Your traffic ticket should include:

• The name of the court
• The court's address
• A phone number for questions

This is usually printed on the front or back of your citation.

California Court Locations by County

Each California county has its own Superior Court that handles traffic matters. Some counties have multiple courthouse locations.

The address on your citation is specific to your case. Always use that address, but here are some general court websites if you need more information:

• San Diego County: sdcourt.ca.gov/traffic
• Orange County: occourts.org/directory/traffic
• San Francisco: sfsuperiorcourt.org/divisions/traffic

Verify the Address

Before mailing, we recommend:

1. Double-check the address on your citation
2. Call the court's phone number if unsure
3. Visit the court's website to confirm the traffic division address

Important Address Tips

• Use the Traffic Division address - Some courts have separate addresses for traffic matters
• Include any suite or department numbers - This ensures faster processing
