Our dog ran out from the backyard onto the street and my grandmother was bringing him back when a cop passed by and gave her a Sanitation Dept. ticket for having an unleashed dog.
She gave them her alien registration/green card at the time and they wrote down her #, but her name on the ticket is mispelled ("Giu" instead of "Guo"). On a recent notice that said we still haven't paid the fine, it's still mispelled. Can we try to dismiss the ticket based on that, or is it impossible?
She's also concerned that this will pop up when she tries to take her naturalization test to become a citizen because they have her alien registration #, is that true?

no you cannot have a ticket dissmissed over a spelling of a name,

Because the ticket was issued upon the information provided by the identification card....the misspelling does not matter.
Also, you might consider that knowing the identification card is incorrect....the holder has the responsibility to have it corrected.
Certainly becoming a citizen of this country has its benefits which include paying the price when we break the laws.
I'd say start out on the right foot and take care of the ticket and get the identification card issue fixed as well!
Best wishes!

Since the information came from the ID card it will not matter. It is know as the "color of the law" or sometimes "good faith". If she does go to get her citizenship with that ID card that is the name they will use.
