Central Violation Bureau (CVB)

Important Notice for Individuals Attempting to Pay a U.S. District Court Violation Notice On-line: A fake website is currently impersonating www.cvb.uscourts.gov and may attempt to collect personal or financial information fraudulently. The only official website for paying a U.S. District Court Violation Notice is www.cvb.uscourts.gov. If you are paying online, please verify the web address carefully and report suspicious activity to the Central Violations Bureau (CVB) at 800-827-2982 or info@cvb.uscourts.gov. Alternatively, you may pay a ticket over the phone by calling the CVB at the same number.

If you have received a violation notice (ticket) for an offense committed on federal property (e.g., on a military base, national park, federal building, etc.), use the following federal Judiciary website that was recently redesigned – https://www3.cvb.uscourts.gov – to make paying fines easier. The new website now has:

• Mobile-friendly design,

• Online payment form integrated with pay.gov,

• Optimized searching,

• Interactive frequently asked questions, and

• New accessibility tools.

The website, along with all violation notice processing, is managed for the Judiciary by its Central Violations Bureau, or CVB. This national center processes tickets issued and payments received for offenses committed on federal property, or for violations of federal law that occur elsewhere. The website includes information on mandatory or optional appearances in court and expected court dates.
