Okay, so I got a parking ticket for having expired registration and parking in front of a fire hydrant (there was a car parked right in front of me, and I didn't see the hydrant!) Whatever, I'm guilty. ANYWAY, my question is, my 21 days are up tomorrow, and I completely forgot to pay it. I'm trying to pay it online, but I don't have a citation number, there's not one to be found, and one was never mailed to me. What do I do? Also, since one of the violations was code 4000(a)(1), what happens if I can't provide proof of correction?
That's on the website, and on the back of the ticket (it's really just an envelope), but the only citation numbers on the back of the ticket that state that need to be corrected are 5200 and 5204, nothing about 4000(a)(1) - 4000(a)(1) is hand-written on the front of the ticket btw. The only reason I found out about that was through their website.

A) Where do I get my citation number?
B) What happens if I can't provide proof of registration?
C) If I would have payed this via mail, and not provided proof of correction due to not knowing, what would have happened?
Thanks!
[EDIT]
I forgot to say I got another one about a week ago where I live for the same expired tags (4000(a)(1)), but that one says NOTHING about correcting the violation. Do I need anything with that one as well? Btw, I can't provide proof of correction due to I have to do some stuff before I can get my tags.
Correctable Violations
If you were issued a citation for violation of 5204a or 4000a1 of the California Vehicle Code, you must provide valid proof of correction with your citation or notice.
