Visiting From Virginia or Another State?

We do not advise on what your home state will do with a North Carolina conviction, because a lawyer licensed there must answer that.

Do I have to come back to North Carolina for court?

Paying a ticket is a guilty plea to the charge as written. That can carry license and insurance consequences, so it is worth a call before you pay.
