When paying a fine or other penalty, always use the reference number found on the bank transfer or fine form. If you do not include the reference number or it is wrong, the payment will not be allocated correctly.
You can pay the fine or other penalty to the Legal Register Centre’s (LRC) account. If you do not have a bank account, you can pay the fine or penalty to the Enforcement Authority.
You will need the reference number to make the payment. If you do not use the reference number given or it is wrong, the payment will not be allocated correctly. Be careful!
You can check the payment details from the bank transfer or fine form issued to you by the authority that imposed the fine or other penalty. If you have been sent a reminder for payment by the LRC, you can find the payment details in the reminder as well.

Frequently asked questions about payment
If you notice that you have made a payment with incomplete or incorrect information, contact our customer service to clear the matter up.
You can pay a traffic penalty fee or fine in instalments before the due date, using the payment details provided.
If you have not paid the penalty by the time it is transferred to the LRC for collection, we will send you a reminder for payment. Depending on the matter, the information can take anything from a few days to a few months to be conveyed to our debt-collection system and electronic service.
If you fail to make the payment by the due date, the matter will be transferred to Enforcement Authority. The matter will then be managed by the enforcement authorities, and you will no longer be able to apply for payment time from the LRC. So be prompt!
If you have received a summary penal order, payment within 30 days is deemed to constitute consent for processing the matter under the Act on the Imposition of a Fine or Fixed Petty Fine.
Partial payment of the fine or fixed petty fine is also considered to constitute consent.
If you have paid the traffic penalty fee and filed a claim for a revised decision with the police after that, the fee’s enforcement code or reference number may have changed due to the revised decision.
If you have paid the fee with the original details, the payment will not be automatically allocated to the revised traffic penalty fee decision.
You can apply for more time for paying fines and other penalties when the matter is listed in the electronic service or the LRC has sent you a reminder for payment. Payment time will only be granted for a justified reason.
We will return any excess amount paid to the payer with possible interest. Read more about payment refunds.
It takes 1–3 banking days for payments to be registered in our system. The reminder for payment may have been sent out in the meantime. You can check your up-to-date balance in our electronic service.
If you have paid the traffic penalty fee and claimed a revised decision after that, the fee’s enforcement code or reference number may have changed due to the revised decision.
