Search Tulsa County Traffic Ticket Records

Tulsa County traffic ticket records are kept at the District Court in downtown Tulsa and are available for free through the OSCN online system. This page covers how to search, what you will find, and where to go if you need copies or have questions about a citation.

Tulsa County District Court

The Tulsa County District Court is the second-largest court in Oklahoma and handles a high volume of traffic cases every year. The court clerk's office is located on the second floor of the courthouse at 500 South Denver Avenue in downtown Tulsa. Staff there manage all traffic records, process fines and payments, and issue certified copies of court orders. The clerk's office is open weekdays and has limited Saturday hours for added convenience.

Tulsa County is in the 14th Judicial District, which covers only Tulsa County. The court has multiple district judges and special judges who handle traffic, criminal, civil, family, probate, and juvenile cases. For traffic matters, you will deal primarily with the criminal division. The court also operates specialty docket programs including Drug Court, Mental Health Court, and Veterans Court. E-payments are available for many case types, which means you can pay some fines online without going to the courthouse in person.

Tulsa Municipal Court

Tulsa Municipal Court is one of only three courts of record in Oklahoma at the municipal level. That is a significant distinction. Most municipal courts in the state are courts not of record, which means appeals go to the district court for a full new trial. Because Tulsa Municipal Court is a court of record, appeals go directly to the Court of Criminal Appeals instead. This gives Tulsa Municipal Court more legal weight than typical city courts.

Tulsa Municipal Court is located at 600 Civic Center, 2nd Floor, Tulsa, OK 74103. The court handles traffic violations issued by Tulsa Police Department inside city limits. These cases do not appear in the Tulsa County District Court OSCN search. The court's phone number is (918) 596-2100. For court records specifically, call (918) 596-1625.

You can pay Tulsa Municipal Court tickets online at municipalonlinepayments.com/cityoftulsaok. Payment is also accepted at City Hall, 175 E. 2nd Street. Court hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you are not sure whether your citation belongs to the municipal court or the district court, look at the issuing officer's agency on the ticket. Tulsa Police citations go to municipal court. Citations from all other agencies go to the District Court.
