Municipal Court sessions are suspended in order to mitigate public exposure to COVID-19.

For this period, individuals scheduled to appear before the municipal court to contest a traffic or parking ticket, a minor local ordinance violation, or other matter should instead await notice of a new court date. Defendants may continue to make payments for parking and traffic matters through the municipal court’s online payment website at www.NJMCdirect.com. Filings and payments will also continue to be accepted by mail.

Due to the municipal court building being officially closed, no in-person payments can be accepted at the court window. Defendants may also continue to mail in payments but be advised that court staff may have limited access to the court office to process those payments.

To contact the Lakewood Municipal Court office by telephone, please call 732-364-2500 ext. 5988.
