Frequently Asked Questions

If your notice number begins with a B or G, the police officer who issued your fine may still be in the process of having your fine uploaded onto the SAPOL system. Please wait until a week before the due date and try again. Alternatively you can print and complete a payment arrangement request form and return it to us via email (fines@sa.gov.au) with a copy of your notice, before its current due date. If you have enquiries about your fine and why it was issued, please contact the SAPOL Expiation Notice Branch 8463 4388, enb@police.sa.gov.au
