How to Pay a Wisconsin Speeding Ticket If You Lost the Ticket

Lost your Wisconsin speeding ticket? Don't panic. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the Court

Determine which municipal or circuit court has jurisdiction—usually the city/village/town where you were stopped, or the county for state patrol citations.

Step 2: Contact the Court Clerk

• Call or visit the court clerk's office.
• Provide: full name, date of birth, driver's license number, approximate citation date/location.
• They can look up the citation by name/DL number and confirm: case number, fine amount, due date, status.

Step 3: Get a Replacement / Payment Instructions

• Many WI courts offer online lookup/payment via CCAP (Wisconsin Circuit Court Access) or municipal court portals.
• If online isn't available, the clerk will give you the case number and payment options.

Step 4: Pay the Fine

• Online: Credit/debit/e-check via court website or paygov.us (many WI courts use this).
• By mail: Cashier's check, money order, or personal check to court address. Include case number.
• In person: Clerk's office—cash, card, check, money order. Bring ID.

Critical Deadlines

• Pay before the due date to avoid: late fees, license suspension, warrant, collections, credit damage.
• If you wish to contest, request a court date before the due date.

Pro Tip

Check wcca.wicourts.gov (CCAP) first—search by name. Most WI traffic cases appear there with payment links.
