Finding your ticket number on your traffic ticket

To be eligible for E-Deferral you must meet the following criteria:

  • You must have a valid driver's license
  • You must have responded to your traffic ticket within 30 days of the violation date, either by mail or in person
  • You have not received a Deferral or Deferred Finding in the past 7 years from any court in the State of Washington, moving or non-moving, depending on the charge that you are requesting be Deferred.
  • The charge that you are requesting to be Deferred is not for No Insurance.
  • You do not possess a Commercial Drivers License (CDL).

Please keep in mind that even if you have met the above listed criteria to apply for the Deferral Program your entry into the program is a discretionary decision that will be made by the Judicial Officer.

If you are granted entry to the Deferral Program the conditions of your Deferral may be, but are not limited to the following:

  • The Length of the Deferral may be imposed up to 1 year.
  • Traffic School may be imposed at your expense and you must provide proof of successful completion to the court.
  • Any new traffic violations may be cause for the revocation of the Deferral.
  • A non-refundable Administrative Fee of $150, imposed at the Judge's discretion, is due within a time decided by the Judge.

There will be no exceptions to the criteria required or the conditions imposed by the Court.

If you have already been denied entrance into the Deferral Program you may NOT apply again for the same citation.

If your application or request for entry into the Deferral Program is denied you will be notified of the decision and a Court Hearing will be scheduled.

If you comply with all of the conditions imposed by the Court the charge that has been deferred will be dismissed and the Court will not report the charge to the Department of Licensing.

Failure to comply with any of the conditions imposed by the court may result in some or all the following:

  • The charge may be found committed and the Department of Licensing may be notified.
  • Any administrative fees that have been paid towards the Deferral may be forfeited and the full amount of the original fine may be imposed.
  • If you fail to pay the imposed fine amount, a $52 penalty may be added, a fail to pay (FTA) may be sent to the Department of Licensing, which may cause your license to be suspended, and the case may be sent into collection status.
