The DeKalb County State Court – Division B is pleased to offer the option of online case resolution (OCR) for certain eligible violations. Instead of having to appear at pre-scheduled date and time, you may be able to resolve your traffic citation(s) more quickly and efficiently online and at your convenience using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
If you have been charged with only a standing order violation (no other tickets were issued as part of the same incident) and have corrected the issue, you may be able to resolve your case by uploading proof to the OCR platform. If approved by the court, you would then be eligible to pay a reduced fine or to have your citation administratively dismissed as provided by law. Standing Order Violations include:
If you have been charged with a traffic violation other than a standing order violation, you can submit your case to OCR. After review of your case, you will be advised whether you are eligible for online case resolution and, if so, how you can proceed resolve your case through OCR.
There are strict time limits for resolving your case through the OCR platform. To resolve your traffic case online, please visit: www.courtinnovations.com/GADCSC/.
