Does the form work in Beaverton?
Beaverton’s citations go through Beaverton Municipal Court, with tickets mailed within 10 business days of the violation. The city’s court page walks through the Certificate of Innocence: log into the ZeroFatality portal with the plate and PIN on your ticket, click the “NOT THE DRIVER?” button, and complete the sworn form online — the court dismisses a valid one without any court appearance. The certificate can’t be used on a reissued ticket, and if you want to challenge the ticket itself you must do it by pre-trial motion, not at trial. Cameras sit on Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy, Walker Rd, Scholls Ferry Rd, Allen Blvd, and TV Hwy.
Oregon lets the registered owner swear a Certificate of Innocence — you affirm you weren’t the driver and attach a copy of your license, and the court must dismiss a valid one without a court appearance (ORS 810.436(7)(a)). You do not have to identify who was driving; only business-owned vehicles use the separate Certificate of Non-Liability that names the operator. Note a citation can be reissued once to the owner if records suggest the owner was driving — and the certificate can’t be used on a reissued ticket. Since 2024, every Oregon city may run speed cameras (2023’s HB 2095): Bend started ticketing in 2026, Salem expanded, and Eugene is next.

Beaverton camera tickets: FAQ
If someone else was driving, can I get out of a Beaverton camera ticket?
Yes. Oregon lets the registered owner file a Certificate of Innocence (ORS 810.436 / 810.437) stating you weren’t the driver. 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 Beaverton?
If someone else was driving, file a Certificate of Innocence (ORS 810.436 / 810.437) — 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 Certificate of Innocence in Oregon?
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 signed certificate with a copy of your license, by the deadline printed on the citation.
Do camera tickets in Beaverton put points on my license?
Oregon doesn’t use a license-points system, but heads up: unlike the “civil” camera tickets of most states, an Oregon photo citation is processed like a regular traffic violation, and some cities (Bend, for one) note it can reach your insurer if you just pay it. One more reason the Certificate of Innocence matters when it genuinely wasn’t you. Confirm specifics with your court.
This is a statement under penalty of perjury. If it was genuinely someone else, use the remedy without hesitation. If it was you, just pay it or ask for a hearing — a false oath is never worth it.
