Violation Notice, Citation, or Ticket on Federal Land or Property
Federal law enforcement agencies nationwide issue violation notices (tickets) to people who commit offenses on federal property, such as federal buildings, national parks, military installations, post offices, Veteran Affairs medical centers, national wildlife refuges, and national forests. A ticket might also be issued for violations of federal law that occur outside federal property as well, for example, migratory bird offenses that occur on private property.
The Central Violations Bureau (CVB) is the national center responsible for processing these tickets. To learn more or to pay your ticket, visit the CVB website.
