You must appear in court on your appointed court date for the following:

• Any charge that may suspend your driver's license or is a fingerprintable offense.
• If you are under the age of 21 or driving on a Class D license.
• If you were cited as a result of a car accident, unless you can provide a letter from the insurance company stating that the claim has been closed.
• If you did not have insurance on the day you were cited, you must come to court. If you did have insurance, you can bring a letter from your insurance company stating that your insurance was current when you received the citation. You must bring the letter to the Court Clerk’s Office prior to your court date.

If your case requires a court appearance and you fail to appear, a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest and your license could be suspended.

If your case did not require a court appearance and you failed to appear or pay prior to your court date, a $150 contempt of court fee will be assessed and your license could be suspended.

This must be requested and signed for in person at the Municipal Court located at 4600 Lawrenceville Highway, Lilburn, GA 30047. No continuances will be granted by phone and must be requested no later than 48 hours prior to your scheduled court date.
