When you need to pay your fine

You have to pay the amount on your infringement notice within 56 days of the notice date, unless you write to us to dispute it.

If you haven't written to us or paid your fine on time, we lodge the infringement with the Department of Courts. They have the authority to enforce the fine and impose extra costs.
