Suspensions for unpaid fines

If you have not paid your outstanding fine(s) and a Notice of Final Demand has been issued to you, Fines Victoria can apply sanctions against you.

Fines Victoria can direct VicRoads to:

• suspend your driver licence, including learners permit
• suspend your vehicle registration
• refuse to grant a driver licence
• prevent the renewal of your driver licence and vehicle registration
• prevent the transfer of any vehicle registered in your name
• prevent the transfer or registration of a vehicle into your name.

Fines Victoria will let you know in writing if your licence, permit and/or vehicle registration will be suspended for unpaid fines.

Visit Fines Victoria - Sanctions for more information.

You should contact or visit Fines Victoria directly to make arrangements to pay your fine(s).

It’s important to note that VicRoads cannot remove a suspension until Fines Victoria tells us to. 

When you've paid the fines, Fines Victoria will direct us to end your suspension and other directions they may have given us.

If you're not sure if your suspension and other directions have ended, you can check myVicRoads or the myVicRoads app. 

If you’ve lost your licence after a drink or drug driving offence and want to find out how to get it back, visit Get your licence back after drink and/or drug driving on the Transport Victoria website.

If your licence has been suspended from incurring demerit points, visit the Demerit points page on the Transport Victoria website.
