Arraignment

This is a made-up scenario.

"Sara exceeded the speed limit by 30km/h so the police wanted to take her driving license. She appealed against the decision and received an official notice from the local authority. Now she has to go there and give her account of what happened."

Would it then be called an 'arraignment', even if she doesn't have to go to court but to a local authority?

Thank you.
