Traffic Fines in Georgia: How to Check on police.ge and Pay
In short
Where to check a fine. On the Ministry of Internal Affairs website videos.police.ge (there is an English version). You can log in in two ways: with the receipt number and the offender's personal number, or with the car's registration certificate number and plate number. Parking fines in Tbilisi, fines issued by the Batumi municipal inspection and some others are checked on protocols.ge.
20% discount. Under Article 268¹(4) of the Code, it applies if you pay within 10 calendar days of being notified in the way that article describes: by SMS or through the Ministry's website. It does not automatically apply to every paper or municipal receipt, and it does not apply if you appeal, under Article 114¹, or in the private security cases set out in the law.
Deadline. Under Article 290(1), the general deadline for payment is 30 days from when the receipt is served or legally deemed served, not simply from any SMS. For Ministry fines under Article 125, Note 3 provides for a surcharge of double the fine, capped at 500 lari; failing to pay within the following 30 days leads to a 6-month suspension of your driving licence. Protocols issued by authorised municipal officers follow the special procedure of Note 4², and other articles have their own rules. Check the article and the issuing authority on the receipt first.
For foreigners. By law, an unpaid fine can be grounds for refusing entry to Georgia.
Checked on 19.10.2026 against the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia and the Law on the Legal Status of Aliens and Stateless Persons (matsne.gov.ge), the Ministry's websites videos.police.ge and police.ge, and protocols.ge.
How to check a fine on police.ge
- Open videos.police.ge. You can switch the language to English (Eng) in the top right corner.

Fines from other agencies do not appear on videos.police.ge. They are checked and paid on protocols.ge, which brings together fines from the patrol police, the Tbilisi Transport and Urban Development Agency (parking in Tbilisi), the Department of Environmental Supervision and the Batumi municipal inspection.
If the car has foreign plates
The Ministry's website does not describe a separate method for foreign cars. If the fine does not come up by registration certificate and plate number, check it by the receipt number from the SMS or from the police officer. Keep fine SMS messages and all receipts until you leave Georgia.
If the car is rented
The receipt for a camera fine goes to the car's owner, that is, the rental company. How the company passes the fine on to you is set out in the rental agreement: read that clause before you set off. More on renting in the article "Car rental in Georgia", and rental companies are listed in the directory for Tbilisi and Batumi.
How to pay a fine
- You will need the receipt number.
- Choose how to pay: at a bank, through online banking or a banking app, at a pay terminal, or in the app of the Ministry's Service Agency.
- Enter the receipt number and check the amount.
| Situation | Rule |
|---|---|
| Discount period | 20% discount. Under Article 268¹(4) of the Code, it applies if you pay within 10 calendar days of being notified in the way that article describes: by SMS or through the Ministry's website. It does not automatically apply to every paper or municipal receipt, and it does not apply if you appeal, under Article 114¹, or in the private security cases set out in the law. |
| General deadline | Under Article 290(1), the general deadline for payment is 30 days from when the receipt is served or legally deemed served, not simply from any SMS. |
| If no SMS arrived | Under Article 268¹(5) and (6), a camera receipt not paid within the 10-day period is sent to the registered address. If it cannot be delivered, the Ministry publishes the receipt on police.ge in the section "Receipts of fines published"; it is deemed served on the 30th day after publication. Receiving an SMS does not replace the service procedure. Check the official register rather than waiting for a letter. |

What happens if you do not pay

|---|---|
| Payment deadline | 30 days to pay from when the receipt is served (or deemed served). |
| Surcharge | Surcharge. For Ministry fines under Article 125, Note 3 provides for a surcharge of double the fine, but no more than 500 lari. Protocols issued by authorised municipal officers follow the special procedure of Note 4²; for other articles, their own rules apply. |
| Next deadline | Another 30 days to pay the fine and the surcharge under Article 290(1¹) and Note 3 to Article 125. For protocols issued by authorised municipal officers, Note 4² is taken into account separately. |
| Driving licence | Suspension of your driving licence. For Ministry fines under Article 125, in line with Note 3, failing to pay within the extra period leads to a 6-month suspension of your licence; after that, it is restored without an exam. This is not a general consequence of every Ministry or municipal fine: check the article and the issuing authority on the receipt. |
| Entry to Georgia | Entry to Georgia. Under the law on the legal status of aliens, a foreigner may be refused entry if they have not paid a fine imposed in Georgia. |
