Pay your fine

The fastest way to deal with your fine is to pay it online. Enter your payment reference number or obligation number (usually found at the top-right corner of your fine).

Always check the payment instructions on your fine before you pay. For some fines, payment must be made to the enforcement agency that issued it – not to Fines Victoria.

If your fine is for a traffic camera offence and you were not driving, you should first nominate the person who was driving. The fine should not be paid until it has been reissued to the correct driver.

If your fine is registered with Fines Victoria but was handwritten or issued without an obligation number, and you would like to pay it on this website or by BPAY, call Fines Victoria on 03 9200 8111. Once the fine has been entered into our systems (allow 2 business days), we should be able to provide you with the obligation number.

If you don't deal with your fine

When an Infringement Notice is issued by an enforcement agency, you must pay it by the due date or do something about it.

If you do not pay it or do something about it, a Penalty Reminder Notice is issued for the fine. The cost of the fine will go up. You should pay the fine or contact the agency that issued the fine to talk about your options. Their contact number is on the notice you received.

If you still don't do anything about the fine, a Notice of Final Demand is issued and the cost of the fine goes up again. You should pay this fine by the due date or contact us to discuss further.

If you don't do anything, an Enforcement Warrant may be issued, and the Sheriff may get involved.

Other options

If you cannot afford to pay your fine in full, you can ask to pay in regular instalments. If you are eligible, you will be able to pay your fines in monthly or fortnightly payments. Your payments can also be automatically deducted from Centrelink.

You can also ask for more time to pay.

If you meet certain criteria, you may be able to apply for the Work and Development Permit scheme or the Family Violence Scheme.
