If you do not do anything about your Infringement Notice and Penalty Reminder Notice and the due date for payment has passed, the agency that issued the fine may register the matter with us.
We will then send you a Notice of Final Demand and a further fee of $137.80* will be added to your fine. This means your fine amount is now $164.40 more than when it was first issued to you. You must comply with this notice within 21 days.
To comply with your Notice of Final Demand, your options are:
If the fine is for a traffic offence and you were not driving at that time, it is now too late to nominate the responsible driver. You can no longer nominate once a Notice of Final Demand has been issued (except in limited circumstances, such as family violence situations).
If you do not do anything by the due date, we may take one or more of the following enforcement actions:
We may also apply to the Magistrates' Court to issue an Enforcement Warrant.
* Fine amounts and fees correct as of 1 July 2022. Amounts are adjusted in July each year.
