Digging Up the Dirt on Your Ticket: It's Not CSI: Memphis, But Close Enough
There are a couple of ways to unearth the details of your ticket, and neither involves dusting for fingerprints (although, that might be fun for a different day).
The Web Strikes Back: The City of Memphis has a user-friendly website where you can search for your ticket with just a bit of info. Head to the City of Memphis ePayments Site [search memphis traffic tickets] and you'll be greeted by a digital justice system that (hopefully) won't judge you for that questionable parking job. All you need is your driver's license number, last name, date of birth, or the ticket number itself. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Phone a Friend (But Not That Friend Who Got You the Ticket): If you're more of a phone person, you can always call the Memphis City Court Clerk's office at 901-634-6200. A friendly voice (hopefully) will guide you through the process of finding your ticket information. Just be prepared to answer some questions and have your patience charged – government offices can be a treasure trove of interesting hold music.
Important Note: If your ticket requires a court appearance, you won't be able to pay online or avoid that pesky date with the judge.
