Cook County residents will have the chance to clear overdue moving traffic violation fees without incurring additional collection costs during Amnesty Week, running from April 14 to April 18, 2025. This is a limited-time opportunity, with collection fees waived for unpaid traffic fines. Notably, the program excludes parking tickets and red light violations.
Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, highlighted the initiative as part of a broader effort to remove financial obstacles that often impact working families. "As Clerk of the Circuit Court, I see our role not only as administrators of justice but as advocates for fairness and accessibility within the court system," Spyropoulos said. "By waiving collection fees, we’re helping residents take meaningful steps toward resolving their cases and restoring trust in a system that should work for everyone."
This amnesty event, the first of its kind since 2019, offers residents an opportunity to pay full or partial payments via cash, check, money order, or credit card. Payments can be made at the Daley Center and all five suburban district locations. For convenience, individuals can also pay by phone by calling the Clerk’s office customer service center at (312) 603-5030.
The Clerk's office aims to provide a more accessible and equitable court system through this initiative, ensuring that all residents, regardless of their financial situation, can resolve their overdue fines and move forward.
