Transfer a fine

Step 1: Gather your information

You'll need your Queensland driver licence number or customer reference number (CRN) to verify your identity.

See Where to find your customer reference number.

You’ll also need to provide:

• the licence or organisation details for the person or organisation you're transferring the fine to
• the infringement notice number and CRN from the fine, if you need to transfer the fine to yourself or if you're acting on behalf of an organisation.

Additional information may be needed depending on the reason for transferring the fine. If you don’t have the additional information required, you’ll need to submit a statutory declaration.
