The Municipal Court does not assess motor vehicle points. This is done so by the Division of Motor Vehicles, by visiting www.njmcdirect.com, you can link into a listing provided by NJDMV. All points associated with moving violations are listed here.

If you wish to plead not guilty to a complaint or ticket, you must contact the court office via phone. You must speak with court personnel directly in order to enter a not guilty plea. Once you enter a not guilty plea, you will be scheduled to appear in court.

Civilian complaints are issued by the Municipal Court. Civilian complaints are accepted at the court office between the hours of 9:00a.m. and 3:00p.m. You must appear personally to file a civilian complaint; as a judicial officer must speak with the complainant to determine probable cause for a complaint to issue.

You can print a copy of the “Complaint Information” form to get the process started. Please read it thoroughly and bring the completed form to the court office and speak with the Court Administrator or the Deputy Court Administrator.

The Violations Bureau is open from 9:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. where fines can be paid in person. You can also make payments through the mail or via the Internet. (traffic fines only) Certain traffic offenses are not payable and the defendant must appear in Court. Please make checks payable to the Haledon Municipal Court.
