Who is responsible to pay the ticket: the owner of the vehicle or the person who was driving when the citation was issued?

Similar to a parking ticket, the registered owner of the vehicle is the responsible party in Maryland, regardless of who was driving the vehicle at the time the citation was issued. The registered owner is responsible for transferring liability if another person was driving the vehicle at the time the citation was incurred. If you need to name another driver as the person responsible for the citation, complete this form  and follow the instructions to send the information via Certified Mail to the appropriate address.
