Fines and Traffic Tickets

Manitoba Justice Online Fine Payments

Many fines and tickets can be paid online, avoiding the potential inconvenience that can come with having to go to a court centre in person. The online fine payment website is a secure service where you can pay with Visa or MasterCard.

Only full payments can be made online and they must be made between the response dates shown on your ticket.

A voluntary payment made online is considered a "guilty" plea to the charges against you. If you wish to plead "NOT guilty", follow the instructions on the back of the ticket or refer to these frequently asked questions.

There is no charge to pay your ticket online. Before paying, you will need:

• Ticket Number
• Date of Offence
• Original Amount of Ticket
• valid credit card (either VISA or MasterCard)

Tickets can be paid online up to and including the due date. They are usually processed within 24 hours.
For detailed information about the online service, see below.

• If you have requested your ticket be transferred to a regional court office for a trial, or a trial date was set, you will not be able to pay online unless you cancel the trial. You must go to a court office if you want to cancel a trial. You could pay the ticket there, or request time to pay and wait for it to be put back online.
• If TO BE DETERMINED BY A JUSTICE is checked off on your ticket, you must go to court or have a lawyer or agent represent you there to respond to your ticket.
• If your ticket has been sent to collections, you must go to a court office or call (204-945-5850) in Winnipeg to arrange to pay your ticket.

I paid my ticket, but I got a notice in the mail that the ticket wasn't paid. Why did this happen and what should I do?

Why do I need to provide an email address?
You only need to provide an email address if you want your receipt emailed to you. Otherwise, you may print your receipt from the confirmation screen. A paper receipt will not be sent out to you in the regular mail. The province will not use the email address you provide to send you unsolicited mail.

I didn't get an email receipt, even though I entered my email address. Can it be re-sent?
If you did not receive an email confirmation, you may not have entered your email address, you may have entered an incorrect address, or the email may be caught in a spam filter.

Why is the balance outstanding amount different than the original fine amount shown on my ticket?
The amount you owe may have increased because:

• a $50 penalty charge is added if you do not pay or dispute your ticket ON or BEFORE the due date printed on your summons and a default conviction is entered in your absence.
• a $20 non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee is added to the balance owing if your cheque bounces when you pay your ticket.

Your fine may have gone down because:

• a payment was made in person, over the phone or by mail
• the court reduced the fine as a result of an appearance in court
