RESETTING YOUR COURT DATE
If you would like to reset your court date for a later date, you must contact the Clerk of Court at least 48 hours prior to your assigned court date. Any subsequent reset requests may require documentation justifying the delay.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
O.C.G.A. § 40-5-33 mandates that drivers must update their address with the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicle Safety within 60 days of moving. If the address on your license or citation is outdated, it is your responsibility to notify the Clerk of Court of the correct address. Notices sent to an incorrect address will not constitute an excuse for non-compliance.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT APPEARING IN COURT
