Out-of-State Driver? What to Do If You Get a Ticket in Missouri

✈️ Ticketed while driving through Missouri?

You may not need to come back at all.
👉 Resolve your Missouri traffic ticket online—fast, legal, and no court appearance.

Getting a ticket in Missouri doesn’t mean you have to fly back for court.

Out-of-State? You're Not Alone.

Every day, we help drivers from across the country who were:

  • Passing through on I-70, I-49, or I-44

  • Visiting family

  • Driving rental cars

  • Driving company vehicles 

  • On business travel or vacation

Getting a ticket far from home is stressful—but in Missouri, you don't have to fight it alone or fly back to court.


What Are My Options?

Most out-of-state tickets can be resolved remotely. With the help of a Missouri traffic attorney, you can:

  • Avoid a court appearance

  • Get the charge amended to a non-moving violation

  • Prevent points from being reported back to your home state (depending on reciprocity laws)

  • Keep your insurance rates from skyrocketing


What Happens If I Just Pay It?

Paying the ticket = pleading guilty. That means:

  • Points on your license

  • Risk of suspension in your home state

  • Higher insurance premiums

  • A permanent record in the Missouri court system (and possibly yours too)


 

Avoid the Return Trip—Let Us Handle It

We'll take care of the court filings, defense, and negotiation. You stay home—we handle Missouri.
