Find Flint Traffic Ticket Records

Flint traffic ticket records are handled by the 67th District Court, which maintains locations across Genesee County with its main Flint location processing city traffic violations, OWI cases, and license restoration matters. The court handles all civil infraction citations issued by Flint law enforcement officers under Michigan's civil infraction process. You can search case records online through Michigan's MiCOURT system, visit the Flint courthouse in person during business hours, or mail a request for copies to the clerk's office. Having your citation number on hand speeds up any search. The 67th District Court is the correct court for violations issued within Flint city limits.

67th District Court - Flint

The 67th District Court has seven locations across Genesee County. The main Flint location at 630 S Saginaw Street handles traffic violations issued within city limits, along with OWI cases and license restoration hearings. This is the location you go to for Flint city citations. The court processes civil infractions under MCL 257.907, which governs the process from citation issuance through final resolution. Civil infractions are not criminal charges. You do not face jail time for most standard traffic violations, but fines and points can add up, and ignoring a citation has serious consequences.

When a Flint officer issues you a citation, the case goes to the 67th District Court's Flint location. You have three options: pay the fine and accept the civil infraction finding, request an informal hearing with a magistrate, or request a formal hearing before a judge. The deadline to respond is on the citation. If you miss that deadline, the court enters a default finding and reports it to the Secretary of State. That can trigger license action under MCL 257.320. The court does not notify you again after the first citation. It is your responsibility to act within the deadline.

The 67th District Court's other locations across Genesee County handle violations issued in their respective jurisdictions. If you are not sure which location has your case, call the main Flint number and staff can direct you to the right location. Copy fees at the Flint location are $1 per page for plain copies. Certified copies cost more and require the court's seal. The court handles record requests for cases at the Flint location only. For cases at other 67th District Court locations, contact that specific office.

The clerk's office is open Monday through Friday during regular business hours. Call (810) 257-3170 before visiting to confirm current hours and what you need to bring. The 67th District Court website at 67thdc.com has information on all seven locations, contact numbers, and general guidance on how to handle civil infraction matters.

Search Flint Traffic Records Online

Michigan's MiCOURT case search system is the main online portal for district court records. Go to micourt.courts.michigan.gov/case-search and select Genesee County and the 67th District Court from the dropdown menus. You can search by name or by case number. MiCOURT displays the citation number, the offense description, the violation date, scheduled hearing dates, and the current status of the case. The system is free to use and available at any time.

MiCOURT is updated on a regular schedule but there may be a short delay between court activity and what appears in the system. If you recently paid or attended a hearing, allow a business day before expecting updated status. Some older records and sealed matters do not appear in the online search. If you need a certified copy or the full case file for a matter that does not appear online, contact the 67th District Court Flint location directly at (810) 257-3170.

The Michigan Courts portal at courts.michigan.gov provides a full directory of district courts and links directly to MiCOURT. For your official Michigan driving record, which is separate from the court case file and shows your point total and all violations statewide, use ExpressSOS at mvic.sos.state.mi.us. These two systems serve different purposes. MiCOURT shows court filings. ExpressSOS shows what the Secretary of State has recorded on your license.

Michigan Driver Point System

Michigan uses a point system under MCL 257.320 to track driving violations. Points are added to your record when the Secretary of State gets a notice of a civil infraction finding or conviction from a court. The point value depends on the violation type. Minor speeding violations carry two points. Violations like running a red light or improper passing carry three points. More serious violations like reckless driving carry six points. Passing a stopped school bus is a four-point violation. Points stay on your record for two years from the date of the offense, not from the date of the court finding.

At 12 points, you get a warning letter from the Secretary of State. At 14 points, your license may be restricted. At 18 points, suspension becomes possible. These thresholds are firm. The state does not negotiate them. For Flint drivers, where citations can accumulate during periods of active enforcement, reaching the warning threshold is a real risk if you have multiple violations within the two-year window. Keeping track of your point total is important.

Check your current point total through ExpressSOS at mvic.sos.state.mi.us. The portal lets you view your driving record and order official copies. An informal record shows current points and recent violations. A certified record costs more and is required for legal or licensing matters. Both are available online or at any Secretary of State branch office in Michigan.

A certified driver improvement course can take two points off your record. You may use this option only once every three years. The course removes points but does not erase the underlying violation from your record. Contact the Secretary of State to find approved courses and learn how to apply the credit after you complete one. For drivers who are close to the warning threshold, taking a course can provide a useful buffer.

Getting Copies of Flint Traffic Records

To get a copy of a traffic case record from the 67th District Court Flint location, you can go to the clerk's office in person or mail a written request. In-person requests are handled at 630 S Saginaw Street during business hours. Bring the case number or the full name and date of birth of the person on the citation. Plain copies cost $1 per page. Certified copies cost more and include the court's official seal. You need certified copies for legal proceedings, insurance disputes, or formal record requests.

For mail requests, include the case number or the defendant's full name and date of birth, the type of record needed, the number of copies, a return address, and payment. The court accepts checks or money orders made out to the 67th District Court. Do not send cash. Call (810) 257-3170 before mailing to confirm the current fee and processing time. Note that the Flint location only handles records for cases filed at that location. Cases from other 67th District Court locations must be requested from those offices directly.

For your official Michigan driving record, use Form BDVR-154 through the Secretary of State under MCL 257.208c. The driving record is a separate document from the court case file. It shows all points, license actions, and violations that courts across Michigan have reported to the Secretary of State. Order it through ExpressSOS at mvic.sos.state.mi.us or visit any Secretary of State branch office. This is the record that insurers, courts in other states, and many employers ask for when they want your full driving history.
