Does the form work in Arizona?
Arizona lets the registered owner file an Affidavit of Non-Responsibility; if accepted, the citation is reissued to the named driver. A stolen-vehicle claim requires a police report. Note Arizona photo tickets must be personally served within 90 days, which is itself a common defense.
Statute: A.R.S. § 28-1591. Active camera programs include Mesa, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley. Last verified June 2026. Confirm with your court before filing.
How to file in Arizona
Three steps. Then one thing you should not do.
Make sure it’s true
Someone other than you genuinely had the car. The form is sworn.

Let the court decide
They cancel it or set a hearing. Civil either way — no points.
Arizona camera tickets: FAQ
If someone else was driving, can I get out of a camera ticket in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona lets the registered owner file an Affidavit of Non-Responsibility (A.R.S. § 28-1591) stating you weren’t the driver, naming the person who actually had the vehicle. A valid one can cancel the ticket. It must be true — it’s sworn under penalty of perjury.
How do I fight a traffic camera ticket in Arizona?
If someone else was driving, file an Affidavit of Non-Responsibility (A.R.S. § 28-1591) — follow the steps above. If it was you, request a hearing to contest the citation itself. Either way these are civil tickets, so no license points.
What is the Affidavit of Non-Responsibility in Arizona?
It’s a sworn statement to the court that the vehicle was in someone else’s control at the time of the camera infraction. File it by affidavit; the citation is reissued to the named driver, before the court date (service must occur within 90 days).
Do camera tickets in Arizona put points on my license?
No. Automated red-light and speed camera citations in Arizona are civil — they don’t add points to your driving record. Don’t pay the fine before filing, though — paying usually withdraws your right to declare.
Do I have to name who was driving in Arizona?
Yes — Arizona’s process requires you to identify the actual driver for liability to transfer to them. (Some states, like Washington and Oregon, don’t require this; Arizona does.)
One rule: it has to be true.
This is a statement under penalty of perjury. If someone else really was driving, use it without hesitation. If you were the one driving, filing anyway is a crime far more serious than the ticket — just pay it or request a hearing.
