Washington Traffic Court Forms

The standard notice of infraction form used by law enforcement. Understanding this form is the foundation of your citation audit.

This is the form your ticket is written on. Compare it against the 8 mandatory elements in IRLJ 2.1(b).

Request a contested hearing to challenge your infraction in person or by written statement.

Must be filed within 15 days of receiving the infraction. Use this to trigger your right to discovery.

Request a mitigation hearing to explain circumstances and potentially reduce the fine.

Mitigation admits the infraction but asks for a reduced penalty. Not the same as contesting.

Submit your defense in writing instead of appearing in person. Use Ticket Fighter WA to generate your statement.

Ticket Fighter WA generates a pre-populated version of this document in Step 5 of the wizard.

Demand the officer's notes, device calibration records, and other evidence before your hearing.

Must be sent at least 14 days before your hearing by certified mail. Ticket Fighter WA generates this letter for you.

Declare that you were not the driver, or that the vehicle was sold, stolen, or leased at the time of the infraction.

Ticket Fighter WA generates this declaration with three branches: sold, stolen, or leased. Signed under penalty of perjury.

Request a contested hearing for a red-light or school-zone camera ticket.

Same IRLJ 3.1 form as standard infractions. Camera tickets carry owner presumption under RCW 46.63.075.

Appeal a district or municipal court infraction decision to the superior court.

Must be filed within 30 days of the district/municipal court decision. Filing fee required.

Designate which trial court records should be included in the appeal record.

Include the notice of infraction, officer's notes, calibration records, and any written statements.

Written argument to the superior court explaining why the lower court decision was wrong.

No official form — you write this yourself. Must include assignments of error, statement of facts, and argument.

Request police records, calibration logs, speed zone studies, and other public documents.

Ticket Fighter WA generates a complete PRR letter tailored to your detection method on the Records Request page.

The local ordinance and engineering study establishing a non-standard speed limit.

Request via PRR. A speed limit not established by ordinance or engineering study may be legally defective.
