An Illinois Citation Notice is a document issued by the state of Illinois that notifies a person of their citation or summons for a civil or criminal case. This citation is usually issued by a law enforcement officer or other court official, and it serves as a reminder that the person must appear in court on the date specified in the citation. There are two main types of Illinois Citation Notice: a Notice to Appear in Court and a Summons to Appear in Court. The Notice to Appear in Court is issued to someone who has committed a minor offense, such as a traffic violation or a minor criminal offense. The Summons to Appear in Court is issued to someone who has been charged with a more serious offense, such as a felony. Both types of citations require the person to appear in court on the specified date and time. The citation also includes information about the offense, the court date, and the penalties that may be imposed if the person fails to appear in court.
