If you were the driver and haven’t been formally nominated, you’ll need to arrange for the registered owner to complete a
driver nomination. Once you have been nominated, we'll reissue the fine in your name and mail you a copy. You can then take action to resolve your fine (like requesting a review or electing to go to court).
You have legal standing for all other types of fines, if you are:
- the person named on the fine (or a director if the fine was issued to a company)
- a lawyer acting on behalf of the person, or company, named on the fine.
If you have the necessary legal standing, you can request to have the matter heard at court. This is if it's before the due date and it has not been registered yet with Fines Victoria.
If you choose to elect to go to court, please note that the City of Melbourne incurs costs as part of this process, and we seek to recover these costs (currently
$90.60 for a single offence and
$136.70 for multiple offences), providing the court finds the matter proven.
