Goooooo me!
Yes, it will show up on your record once it is convicted even though you were cited in a state other than the state in which you reside. The conviction date is the date you pay OR the date you're supposed to pay if you fail to pay and allow the violation to go to warrant.
If a conviction affects your insurance (most do in US) you should pay extra for the right to take traffic school. You pay the court the fine AND you pay extra to go to traffic school, then you pay the traffic school MORE money for the course (online since you don't live there), then you take the traffic course (don't forget cuz there's a deadline and you'll lose your money if you don't do it AND the vio will show up on your record), then you take the traffic school test and submit, then you print your results and keep them cuz you may need to prove you took the course if the violation isn't properly dismissed by the court that has jurisdiction over your ticket.
How do I know all this? My roommates are all bad drivers.
Oh yeah, wrong license number. Yeah, you could appear in court and fight the vio and say you never drove a vehicle with that license plate but if the officer shows up and says "that's not a seven that's a four" you lose AND in some states, you can't do traffic school if you lose.
The only reason you do traffic school is if the court will dismiss the ticket which means it won't show up on your driving record.
If the court won't dismiss it, don't waste your money.
Blah. Longest post ever.

What about the drivers license number, if they have that, your still screwed. The plate would only matter if you were pulled over for expired registration. Based off what I know which is F all.
