Paying Oklahoma County Traffic Fines

Oklahoma County has specific rules about how you can pay a traffic fine. Credit card payments are accepted in person only, and the cardholder must be present. You cannot pay by credit card over the phone or online for Oklahoma County traffic cases. Cash, cashier's check, and money order are all accepted. You can pay at the 4th floor Court Clerk's Office at 320 Robert S. Kerr Avenue.

The OSCN e-payment system at pay.oscn.net is available for some cases, but not all Oklahoma County traffic tickets qualify for online payment. Check the system to see if your case is listed there. If it is not available online, you will need to pay in person or mail a money order to the court.

One important note about insurance tickets: if you received a ticket for no proof of insurance, paying it results in an automatic license suspension. Before you pay, consider showing proof of valid insurance to the District Attorney's office. They may be able to dismiss the charge if you can prove you were covered. The Court Clerk's office cannot grant payment plans for traffic court fines.
