How do you check and pay a fine in Georgia?
Where to look up fines by plate number and why not to let them pile up.
Short answer
Traffic fines in Georgia can be checked on the Ministry of Internal Affairs website by vehicle or document number and paid online there; you can also pay through banking apps and payment terminals. You usually have 30 days to pay, after which the fine increases. By law, an unpaid fine can be grounds for refusing a foreigner entry.
Why
- Cameras record speeding, running red lights and not wearing seatbelts, and fines are issued to the vehicle's plate.
- Under the law on aliens, an unpaid fine is among the grounds for refusing entry.
- For rental cars the fine goes to the rental company, which charges it to the renter.
Details
If you drove your own foreign-registered car, check for fines before leaving Georgia. Keep the payment receipts in case questions come up at the border.
