How nominating
someone else works

You can nominate someone else if you have

received a fine or overdue fine notice, but:

You weren’t driving the vehicle at the

time of the offence

You sold the vehicle before the date of

the offence

You are required by law to name the person

responsible for the offence if demerit
points are applied. Nominating the person
responsible means the fine and loss of
demerit points will be assigned to them, not
you.

For offences such as littering from a

vehicle, you should name the person
responsible, even if you were the driver at
the time.

Information we need
about the person
responsible

To transfer your fine to someone else, we

need to know their:

Full name

Address

Date of birth

Driver licence number and the

state/country it was issued in

Passport number and country of issue

if you're nominating an international
driver.

If you’ve lost your fine notice, you can

contact us on 1300 138 118 

We may also ask for more evidence in

writing, in person or in court.

If the person you are nominating elects to

go to court, you will be required to complete
a statutory declaration (PDF 847.81KB)
and have it witnessed by a Justice of the
Peace.

If you don’t know who

was responsible

As the registered vehicle owner, you’re

responsible for any offence incurred in your
vehicle until the responsible driver is
nominated. If you don’t know who was
driving your car at the time of the offence,
you can:

View a camera image of the offence.

Please note that these photographs are

designed to capture the number plate of
the offending vehicle, not identify the
driver. So the driver may not be visible in
some images.

Nominate now
You can transfer the fine to the person
responsible by nominating online.

Other ways to nominate someone

You can provide a signed and
witnessed Statutory Declaration form (PDF

If your nomination is
successful
A new fine will be sent to the person you
named.

If you have already paid the fine before

nominating the person responsible, please call
us on 1300 138 118  to request a refund.

If you’re responsible for a

fine that was issued to
someone else
If you were driving someone else’s vehicle and
committed an offence which resulted in a fine
being issued in their name, you can have it
transferred to your name by mailing a signed
and witnessed Statutory Declaration form (PDF
708.95KB) to:

Revenue NSW
PO Box 786
Strawberry Hills
NSW 2012

You can also ask the vehicle owner to nominate

you.

Providing false
information
You must make a reasonable effort to identify
the person responsible for the offence. Making
a false nomination is a serious offence. If you
provide false or misleading information you may
receive additional fines and restrictions on your
driver licence.

If you have been falsely

nominated
If you believe you have been falsely nominated
for a vehicle offence you will need to provide us
with evidence that shows you could not have
been responsible.

Fines issued to company

vehicles
