Pay a Fine

What is my fine number?

Fines can be shown on official documents labelled as a Case Number, Case ID, Police #, or Summary Offence ticket (SOT) number. A fine can have both a SOT and a Case Number at the same time and you may have more than one document for the same fine.

If you have a SOT that also has a Case Number, you only need to pay it once. Enter the Case number shown on the Conviction Letter or Fine order.

Find your fine number based on the examples below:

Tickets

Your tickets might be labelled as "Summary Offence Information" or "Summons to Accused".  Your fine number is indicated as "Police #" or "Ticket".

Example of "Summary Offence Information" and "Summons to Accused".

Conviction letter

If you received a letter from the Provincial Court notifying you of that you have been found guilty of an offence, your fine number is indicated as your "Case ID".

Why can't I pay my fine online?

 

Check to ensure you've entered the fine number correctly.

Your ticket/case does not have a fine and you must contact the court.

In some situations, fines are not able to be paid online.

For example:

  • more than one fine exists with that number and you’ll need to call the court to ensure you're paying the correct fine.
  • your ticket does not have a fine and you must attend court

If you enter a fine and get a message asking you to contact the court, this fine cannot be paid online. You will need to contact the court to find out how to proceed.

Can I pay fines for more than one person?

Yes, you can enter and pay fines for more than one person using this service.
