A Notice of Final Demand can be issued if you don’t pay your fine, or comply with a payment arrangement, by the due date on your Court Fine Collection Statement.

If you ignore your Court Fine Collection Statement and the due date for payment has passed, the fine may be registered with us.

We will then send you a Notice of Final Demand and a fee of $143.30* will be added to your fine. You must comply with the notice within 21 days.

Your options

You can:

• pay your fine in full by the due date
• apply to pay by instalments
• apply for more time to pay

If you don't do anything

If you do not do anything about your Notice of Final Demand by the due date, we may take one or more of the following enforcement actions:

• suspend or prevent you renewing your driver licence
• suspend or prevent you renewing your vehicle registration
• prevent you from transferring your vehicle registration out of your name
• make a deductions from your bank account, wage or money owed to you
• charge and sell land you own.

We may also apply to the Magistrates' Court to issue an Enforcement Warrant. If this happens, a sheriff's officer has the power to:

• wheel clamp your vehicle
• remove the number plates from your vehicle
• seize and sell your personal property
• arrest you to appear before a judge or magistrate.
