Plea by Mail

Plea by mail forms can be used to plead guilty or not guilty to certain traffic offenses and guilty on certain non-traffic cases.  Please contact the court to inquire if your offense is eligible to submit a plea by mail form.  The form must be completed in its entirety.  You can either return the completed form via email to cliftoncourt@cliftonnj.org, deliver it in person to the 2nd-floor violations window at 900 Clifton Avenue, Clifton, NJ or mail to Clifton Municipal Court, 900 Clifton Avenue, Clifton, NJ 07013. The Judge will then hear the case on the documents you submit, and you will be advised of the outcome via a letter from the court. If you have multiple summonses, you must complete a separate form for EACH summons. If you require more space to present your facts than the form provides, please attached a handwritten statement or Word document to the form.
