NSW fine notice checklist
Check the notice before you decide what to do next.

Start with the notice
The notice controls the next step. Check the wording, the issuing authority, any deadline, and whether the notice is about the offence, the driver, the vehicle, or payment.
- 1Read the exact offence wording, date, location, and authority named on the notice.
- 2Check whether the issue is payment, driver nomination, demerit points, or review evidence.
- 3Use the official NSW source before paying, nominating, or requesting review.
When to pause before paying
Pause if the driver identity is wrong, the vehicle details do not match, the alleged location or time looks wrong, or the demerit points could affect your licence.

Official sources
Verify the NSW source before you act
Use the official source named on your notice for the final answer on payment, review, nomination, deadlines, enforcement, and demerit consequences.
