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.
