4. How many points for this ticket/Do I receive points on my out of state license

The Municipal Court does not and cannot get involved in the issuance of points. 

Contact Motor Vehicle Services by calling 609-292-7500 or by visiting MVC at www.njmvc.gov for that information.

5. My ticket has a "Notice to Appear" date, but I was told the ticket was payable

In almost all cases the "Notice to Appear" date is your PAY DATE. 

You only have to appear in court if the box next to "Court Appearance Required" is checked. 

However there are certain instances that the Court Appearance box is mistakenly not checked, and a Court Appearance is in fact required. Call the Court at 732-542-3400 x 373 to verify. 

6. What is the procedure to plead "Not Guilty"

You must contact the court at least seven (7) days prior to your PAY DATE to plead Not Guilty. The date given under the "Notice to Appear" is not your court date, it is your pay date (unless the Court Appearance Required box is also checked). 

Contact the Court at 732-542-3400 ext 373 to verify or contact the Court to plead not guilty.

7. I received a letter from MVC stating my drivers license will be suspended if I don't pay my ticket

Once you have paid your ticket, take your receipt to Motor Vehicle Commission before you drive. The receipt will provide proof that you resolved the matter. The MVC will (in most cases) required you pay a $100.00 restoration fee before you can drive again. Restoration fees can also be paid online at www.njmvc.gov 

8. How do I file a Complaint Against Someone

Come to the Eatontown Police Department to report the incident/complaint. The Police Department will provide you with a Civilian Probable Cause Form to be filled out by you. The Civilian Probable Cause will then be forwarded on to the Municipal Court to determine Probable Cause/issuance of your complaint.
