Falsely nominating another drive in NSW

You have a duty to nominate the correct driver if you are not responsible for an offence. Falsely nominating another driver is an offence.

AustraliaCriminal Law

If you receive a traffic infringement for an offence that was 'camera-recorded' and you were not driving the vehicle at the time of the offence, you are able to nominate another driver in NSW.

If successful, your fine will be cancelled and a new fine will be sent to the person named, with the demerit points also assigned to them.

This can be done online via the Revenue NSW website, or by providing a signed and witnessed statutory declaration and mailing this to Revenue NSW.

The information required includes the person's full name, address, and date of birth.

It will also include their driver licence number and the state their licence was issued in or their passport number and country of issue if you are nominating an international driver.
