The registered vehicle owner is responsible for parking fines issued to their vehicle. If your vehicle has received a parking fine but you weren’t the driver at the time, you can nominate the driver which transfers the liability of the fine to them.
To do so, the registered vehicle owner must complete a User Statement (the legal document used to nominate a driver), using the below form.
Important information to read before you complete this form:
- Incomplete or incorrect User Statements will not be accepted, so please ensure you enter all details correctly and have supporting documents ready to upload.
- This is a legal document required by the Road Safety Act 1986 – it is an offence to provide false or misleading information.
- Nominating a driver must be done before the matter is registered with Fines Victoria, otherwise the fine will escalate in the owner’s name.
- Any vehicle ownership disputes should be resolved with VicRoads before nominating a driver.
