The Duval County Clerk of Courts is excited to announce it will be holding a Virtual Operation Green Light event. As the Courthouse is currently CLOSED to the public, Operation Green Light will be available only online or by utilizing the Drop Box. Joining with many other Clerk's Offices from around the State of Florida, Operation Green Light is a special program that allows individuals who have overdue traffic tickets and criminal fees to pay in full while waiving the 30% collection fee.
Operation Green Light aims to help the community by allowing individuals with delinquent fines and fees to make those payments and possibly have their driver's licenses reinstated online.
