GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES Adjudication Services Administration APPEAL INSTRUCTIONS If you wish to appeal the decision of the hearing examiner, you must file an appeal with the independently constituted Traffic Adjudication Appeals Board. You should read the following instructions carefully before filing your appeal. Failure to follow the procedures described in these instructions may result in your appeal being dismissed without consideration by the Appeals Board. WHAT CAN BE APPEALED? An appeal of a decision on a ticket may be filed if you denied the violation and were found liable. Or, if you admitted to the ticket violation with an explanation and requested a change in the fine amount and that request was denied. Only decisions made by a hearing examiner may be appealed. You may appeal: (1) Parking tickets; (2) Moving violations including photo-enforced tickets; (3) The fines and penalties imposed by the hearing examiner; (4) The revocation or suspension of your driver license ordered by a hearing examiner at a hearing; (5) A denial of a Motion to Vacate Judgment; (6) A denial of a request for a limited occupational license. TIME PERIOD FOR FILING AN APPEAL All appeals must be filed within 15 calendar days of your in-person hearing or within 18 calendar days of the postmark date of a mail adjudication decision. TRANSCRIPTS OF THE HEARING A transcript is a written version of your recorded hearing. You must order two (2) copies of the hearing transcript if you are appealing an in-person moving violation hearing, and/or appealing the suspension/revocation of your driver license at an in-person hearing. No transcript is required if you are appealing a parking ticket, any decision from a mail-in hearing, photo enforced tickets, or if you are only appealing fines and penalties imposed by a hearing examiner. However, the Appeals Board will review the transcript if provided. You must pay a $50 transcript deposit at the time you file your appeal. If the cost of the transcript is less than your deposit, the difference will be refunded. If the cost is more than your deposit, you will be billed for the additional amount and you must pay this amount within 10 calendar days of the billing date. If the additional amount due is not paid, the appeal will be dismissed without consideration by the Appeals Board. HOW TO FILE AN APPEAL Complete the appeals application on the back of this form and submit it along with the fine and penalty, the $10 appeal fee, and the $50 transcript deposit to P.O. Box 77411, Washington, DC 20013, Attention: Appeals Office. All fees must be paid by check or money order made payable to the D.C. Treasurer. If the Board reverses the Examiner's decision, all payments are refunded. You must pay all fines, penalties, and appeal fees. If you fail to make any of these payments, or if a check in payment of these fees is dishonored, the appeal will be dismissed without consideration by the Appeals Board. WHAT THE APPEALS BOARD CONSIDERS The Appeals Board considers the ticket, testimony, and evidence presented at the original hearing, the hearing transcript, and your brief written statement describing the basis of the appeal. Personal appearances before the Appeals Board are not required or permitted. The Appeals Board will not consider any evidence which was not presented to the hearing examiner. The Appeals Board may take up to two years to decide your case. Visit our website: www.dmv.dc.gov or call 311 or 202-737-4404 for additional information.
