Citation Payments
How to Pay for a Citation
Payment must be made within 21 days of citation issuance. Failure to pay the citation will result in the following:
- A late fee of double the original citation fee and
- A DMV hold, along with an additional $10 fee.
Transportation Services does not accept cash, card or check payments for citations in-person. Citation payments can be made one of two ways:
- Visit the Transportation Portal.
- Search for your citation using the citation number and the vehicle license plate.
- Find the citation you wish to pay and click Add to Basket.
- Click on the shopping basket at the top right-hand corner of the page and click Pay Now. There is a $3.95 convenience fee to pay online.
- Select your payment method.
- If you already have an account, you can click Log In. If you do not have an account, continue through Guest Checkout with an email address.
- Follow the prompts to complete your transaction. Do not let the payment pages idle for more than 15 minutes.
- If paid successfully, you should receive a confirmation page and receipt via email. You can also search the citation number again to confirm a $0 balance.
Checks should be made payable to San Diego State University.
Be sure to include the bottom section of the citation letter and your citation number on the check.
