What is a Case or Docket number?
The Case or Docket number is a unique number assigned by the Court for the purposes of tracking your citation. Typically, you will receive a courtesy notice via mail from the Court shortly after receiving your traffic citation. Among other things, the courtesy notice will indicate the bail amount as well as your options regarding traffic school. You should be able to locate your Case or Docket number on the courtesy notice. Most Courts call it a docket number but some Courts may refer to it as a case number or even a citation number. In the rare case that your Case/Docket number is too long to fit in the appropriate registration box, you can eliminate the dashes and spaces. If you do this, just remember to eliminate the dashes and spaces when you reenter the course. NOTE: San Francisco Court uses a Citation number so enter that number.
