Nominate someone else

If you’ve received a fine but weren't responsible for the offence, you can transfer the fine to the person who was at fault when:

• you weren't driving the vehicle when the offence happened
• you sold the vehicle before the date of the offence.

You must nominate the person responsible by the due date of the fine.

Unknown driver

As the registered owner, you're responsible for any offence incurred in the vehicle until you nominate the driver responsible.

For camera-detected offences, photographs may assist in identifying the driver – login to myPenalty to see if photographs are available. Photographs are designed to capture the number plate of the offending vehicle, not the identity of the driver, therefore, the driver may not be visible in some images.
