If you have a receipt or a cashed check. Take it to the PD. If you missed a court appearance you may have a warrant out for you and you should get back on calendar as soon as possible to avoid being arrested. Since you have your license you might try calling DMV and see if they have proof of your payment.

It sounds like you were cited years ago for driving while your license really was suspended. If that's what happened, then you still have to deal with the warrant. Getting the license reinstated afterwards did not erase the earlier offense.
