Please hold payment of tickets for at least 20 days to see if deferral information arrives. Payment of violation prior to receiving deferral information will eliminate you from this program. If you have questions regarding the Deferral Program contact the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office at 260-499-6326.

*Federal law prohibits CFL licensed drivers from qualifying for deferral program.

Proof of Insurance

Anyone that does not have a clear Driving Record or has received 3 tickets within 1 year will be notified by the BMV to complete a “Certificate of Compliance” for proof of insurance. This will be mailed to the address listed on your driver’s license NOT the ticket. It takes approximately 2 weeks after payment in full has been made. If not completed and returned, the BMV will suspend your license for a minimum of 90 days plus a minimum reinstatement fee of $150.00.
