Online Municipal Case Resolution:

This method allows you to resolve your matter without the need of a virtual hearing by disputing specific moving violations online via www.njmcdirect.com  and enter your ticket information as if you are making a payment. This will bring you to a second page where you will see two options; 'Make a Payment' or 'Dispute Case'. Select 'Dispute Case' to begin the review process. This option allows you to directly communicate with the Prosecutor. All communication will be sent via email.

You may also elect to resolve your matter without the need of a virtual hearing by completing the enclosed Plea by Mail form .  You may complete the Plea by Mail form and plead either guilty or not guilty.  As part of your submission, you are permitted to provide supporting documents, for example a receipt for paid parking.  The Court will review your Plea By Mail form, along with all supporting documents and provide a response.  

If you are interested in resolving your municipal court matter prior to your court appearance you are free to reach out to the municipal prosecutor to negotiate an acceptable resolution of your matter.
