Appearance Instructions
Please note that if you are 16 years old and younger, the Court will automatically set you on the next Court Docket and mail out a notice to appear at the Bartonville Municipal Court. A parent/legal guardian must accompany the Juvenile.
Most court services are now available online to allow you to handle your citation remotely. Most moving violations do not require a personal appearance. Please review the options below to determine how best to process your citation without appearing in person. For all citations, you must appear in person, take some kind of action via e mail, or by mail by the "Appearance Date" printed on your citation. Phone call(s) do NOT constitute an appearance. Please see options below.
Please Note: All payments made online will be automatic convictions, unless prior arrangements have been made. If you wish to select the Driver Safety Course Option or Deferred Disposition Option you MUST CONTACT THE COURT PRIOR TO PAYMENT to verify the proper paperwork has been submitted.
