How Do I Request that the Court Review My Vehicle Registration Citation?

If you received a citation for failure to display current registration (City of Portland, 16.20.120(L)) and want the matter reviewed, you must either use the Parking Fine Request Form on the Fine Reduction page and attach the required documents, OR submit each of the following within 60 days of the citation issue date:

• Response to Parking Citation Form
  
• Copy of the citation
• Printed photos of both front and rear plate, with current registration stickers properly displayed on the plates (no temporary trip permits). If you have photos on your cell phone, you will have to print them.
• Proof of updated registration or ‘Notice of Transaction’ from the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services pision (DMV).
  

If you do not have each of these items, you may submit a letter of explanation along with any supporting documentation you do have.

You can submit your documents by mail, to the mailing address listed below, submit electronically by visiting Responding to a Parking Citation Online and choosing the correct form, OR appear in-person at the Multnomah County Central Courthouse. You must provide an updated mailing address for notification of judgment or case outcome. Faxes are not accepted. All documents or requests must be received by the court within 60 days of the citation issue.
