An Illinois Citation Notice is a legal document issued by a court or law enforcement agency in the state of Illinois. It is a notice to an individual that they are being held accountable for a civil or criminal violation of Illinois state law. There are three types of Illinois Citation Notice: a Uniform Traffic Citation, a Notice to Appear, and a Notice of Supervision. A Uniform Traffic Citation is issued for minor traffic violations, while a Notice to Appear is issued for more serious offenses and requires the recipient to appear in court. A Notice of Supervision is issued when the accused is placed on probation or some other form of supervision. All Illinois Citation Notices must be responded to in a timely manner, otherwise, the recipient may be subject to fines and other penalties.
