What Is a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT)? 

A Desk Appearance Ticket, or DAT, is a legal document issued by law enforcement in lieu of an arrest for certain misdemeanors or violations. Rather than being detained, individuals are required to appear in criminal court on a specific date to answer to the charges.

DATs are often issued for various offenses, including but not limited to: 

  • Aggravated unlicensed operation
  • Driving on a suspended license
  • Operating without valid insurance
  • Reckless driving

While many traffic-related DATs might seem minor, they must be taken seriously. Unlike a standard traffic ticket, a DAT is returnable to criminal court, not traffic court, and the consequences can be much more severe.
