Query your infringement Query your infringement

Submit a request for our team to review your infringement, query your fine online, view details and photos, transfer liability and more.

We are currently experiencing a high volume of infringement review requests, so response times may be longer than normal. We are working hard to respond within 15 working days. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Response letters are sent via email where an email address has been provided. Otherwise, the letter will be mailed.

To query your infringement notice, you must:

be the registered owner
use your legal name when submitting your query.

If you were the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence but are not the registered owner, you'll need to transfer liability to yourself and provide a statutory declaration.

Transfer liability

Infringement not showing online

If your infringement details are not showing online, it may be because the infringement was issued within the last 24 hours. Please try again later today or tomorrow. If the problem persists, please contact us.

View infringement details and photos

View infringement details and images online (if photos are available). When viewing images, click on the image to enlarge.

You will need to know your infringement notice number, and vehicle registration (licence plate number) if it is a vehicle infringement. After you have viewed the infringement details, you can choose to pay or query the infringement.

Note: We are currently experiencing difficulties uploading infringement images. Images, where available, will be posted online 5 to 10 days from the date of the offence.

Late submission of query

Late submission of a query is when there are less than 10 days before the final due date for payment.

If you are submitting a late query, please contact us to advise of the urgency required in dealing with your request.

Query a paid infringement

Only in exceptional circumstances will AT issue a refund for a paid infringement. Although you can submit a query about a paid fine, please note that by making payment, you have admitted liability.

If you have paid the fine and want to submit a query, please contact Auckland Transport on 09 355 3553.

If you submitted a query before paying the fine, your correspondence will still be reviewed.

You will receive a response within 10 working days, informing you that:

we will proceed with the infringement notice, in which case payment has already been made and the matter is closed, or
the explanation warrants a cancellation of the infringement notice and payment will be refunded.

Query for customer who has died

Please include a copy of one of the following documents with your request:

Copy of order of service, for example, from the funeral service
Copy of a death notice, for example, from a newspaper.

We appreciate that this can be a difficult task for family and friends. We respectfully ask that you provide us with the required information so we can provide a response as quickly as possible.
