Privately owned vehicles

A traffic infringement notice is issued, in the first instance, to the registered owner of the offending vehicle identified in the photograph:

• if you were the driver named on the notice, you must pay the notice by the due date. Refer to the notice for payment options.
• if you were not the driver named on the notice, do not pay the notice. Scroll down this page to the ‘nominating the driver’ section and follow the steps.

Business owned vehicles

If the vehicle is registered to a business, a notice requesting information (NRI) will be issued to the company:

• the responsible person for the business must, by the compliance date shown on the notice, provide the details of the driver or person in charge of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence
• the nominated driver will then be issued with the infringement notice, which is a modified penalty to that endorsed on the NRI
• if the required details cannot be ascertained or provided, the business must pay the modified penalty (double the individual penalty) by the payment due date
• scroll down this page to the ‘business owned vehicle’ section of this page and follow the steps.

On-the-spot notices

Hand written and electronic on-the-spot general traffic infringement notices are issued to an individual or company identified by a police officer, or other authorised person, at the time a traffic offence is identified.

Refer to the notice for payment options.

Completed driver nomination forms for privately owned vehicles and notice requesting information for business owned vehicles can be sent to:

Department of Transport - Infringement Services
Email: infringementservices@transport.wa.gov.au
Mail: GPO Box R1290

Privately owned vehicles

If you were not the driver, do not pay the infringement notice.

Follow the instructions on the notice to nominate the driver and return the notice before the due date (mail address details shown above).

Business owned vehicles

The responsible person for a business owned vehicle will receive a Notice Requesting Information (NRI) (PDF, 60KB).

An NRI is not an infringement in the first instance but a request to supply details of the driver or person in charge of a vehicle at the time of an alleged offence.

Complete Division 1 ‘Driver or person in charge – known’, with their details (name, date of birth and current address) and include the original NRI.

Complete Division 2 if the vehicle was stolen at the time of offence or Division 3 if the driver is unknown.

If you were the driver of the vehicle and wish to have an infringement notice dealt with by a court do not pay the infringement notice.

To request a court hearing you will need to advise Infringement Services before the payment due date listed on the infringement notice by:

• registering/logging into your DoTDirect account and submit the required details and acknowledge your responsibilities and potential outcomes; or
• completing the Court Election section on the traffic infringement notice and:
          â—¦ email to infringementservices@transport.wa.gov.au
            or 
          â—¦ mail to Infringement Services, GPO Box R1290, Perth WA 6844.

You cannot choose a court hearing if you have already paid the traffic infringement in full or part.

Once you start the court process, it will replace your traffic infringement and cannot be stopped.

It will be up to the court to determine the outcome.

In all cases when advising in writing, the registration number of the vehicle, any reference numbers and a telephone contact number must be included.
