How to view your fines

Click the button below. To log in, we will ask you to enter an obligation number, infringement number or court case number for one of your fines, as well as some other details about you, your driver licence or vehicle registration.

Once you've logged in, you can:

see all current fines managed by us
see details of payment arrangements
see how much you owe
set up an SMS payment reminder
download a PDF photo for each traffic offence (if available – not all fines have photos)
access your fine history (for matters finalised within the past 6 months).

Note: you will not be able to view fines that are not managed by us, such as local council parking fines that have not been registered with Fines Victoria for enforcement. If you're not sure who is managing a fine, check your most recently issued notice.

Family Violence Scheme

The Family Violence Scheme assists victim survivors of family violence with infringement fines where there is a link between their experience of family violence and receiving the fine.

The scheme allows for your fines to be withdrawn if your experience of family violence contributed to the offence or if it is not safe for you to nominate the person responsible.

See Family Violence Scheme for information and how to apply.
