CVB Information
Central Violations Bureau
The Central Violations Bureau is a national center responsible for processing violation notices (tickets) issued and payments received for petty offenses charged on a federal violation notice. This includes violations that occur on federal property such as federal buildings, national parks, military installations, post offices, Veteran Affairs medical centers, national wildlife refuges, and national forests.
Federal tickets are issued by law enforcement personnel from agencies such as the U.S. Park Rangers, U.S. Fish & Wildlife, Department of Defense Police, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Postal Police, U.S. Border Patrol, V.A. Police, and Federal Protective Service. If the ticket you received does not say "U.S. District Court Violation Notice" across the top, then you did not receive a federal ticket. If you would like to make a fixed-sum payment in lieu of a court appearance for certain offenses, the fee schedules for selected violations can be found in the Supporting Documents on this page. If your violation notice indicates that a court appearance is mandatory OR the offense is not listed on these schedules, you will have to appear in court as indicated on your violation notice.
