Q: Can I get information about my traffic infringement history?
Answer:
Yes. You can apply in writing to the Police Infringement Bureau using this form [Word-RTF, 306 KB]. A photocopy of your drivers licence (or passport) is needed for identification. The Police Infringement Bureau will send you a copy of your Police Infringement History within 20 working days from the date your completed application and identification is received.
Note: The Police Infringement Bureau holds information relating to Police infringement history only. If a Police infringement fee is not paid, it gets lodged at Court and it becomes a fine. If you want information relating to your record of unpaid infringements (fines), or traffic convictions, you need to refer your query to the Ministry of Justice. Information relating to demerit points, driver licences or vehicle registration should be referred to the New Zealand Transport Agency. You can also get a copy of your criminal record from the Ministry of Justice.
