District Court will not renew permits for commercial drivers with
outstanding fines and bench warrants
The District Court of American Samoa has issued a notice advising all commercial drivers that their permits will expire on December 31, 2008 and as part of the permit renewal process, commercial drivers will be required to obtain a copy of their driver’s record from the District Court’s Violation’s Bureau.
The request must be made in person by the driver wishing to renew their permit. Each driver must display a valid driver’s license issued by the Office of Motor Vehicles and, if not appearing on the license, a copy of that driver’s social security card.
A record showing outstanding fines or bench warrants must be paid in full or adjudicated and paid in full, before the Violation’s Bureau clerk issues, stamps, and signs the record clearance.
Any driver desiring to check their individual record may stop by the District Court between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday to determine if any outstanding fines or tickets need to be addressed before obtaining a final record clearance.
The notice is signed by District Court Judge John L. Ward.
