Issuing of Infringement Notices

ACT Policing issue Traffic, Parking and Criminal Infringement Notices via email and hard copy. 

Individuals are given the option of how they wish to receive their infringement notice, by email or hard copy. 

ACT Policing urge members of the public to continue to exercise caution and be aware of email scams.

There are a number of ways to tell whether an infringement notice is legitimate or a scam and it is important to note that we will never request payment via a link in the email.

Infringements from ACT Policing will:

  • Be sent from an official AFP email address
  • Include a digital version of the infringement notice (or notices) 
  • List the details the person provided to police when they were stopped

If you believe you have been a victim of a scam infringement email, report it using the ReportCyber portal.

For more information about scams and how to protect yourself online, visit the Scamwatch website.
