Can my traffic ticket be transferred to another state?

In South Carolina, traffic tickets can generally be transferred from one state to another. Generally, this process is done through an interstate Compact Agreement with the state you are transferring the ticket to, if they have a reciprocal agreement. For example, if you receive a traffic ticket in South Carolina and then move to a different state, that state may be part of an interstate Compact Agreement that allows for the ticket to be transferred over. The ticket will then be handled by the new state according to its laws. In some cases, the new state may not be part of a reciprocal agreement and the ticket may not be transferrable. This means you will have to pay the traffic ticket or appear in court in the state where it was issued. In South Carolina, it is important to note that not all traffic tickets can be transferred. In order for the ticket to be transferred, it must be a non-criminal violation, meaning that the infraction does not involve jail time. For more serious violations, such as DUIs, the ticket cannot be transferred and must be dealt with in the state in which it was issued. Overall, traffic tickets can be transferred to other states in South Carolina as long as the infraction was not a criminal one and the receiving state is part of an interstate Compact Agreement. To be sure, contact the state you are moving to for more information on the transfer process.
