Paying or disputing a standard fine

Last update

Summary:

In the event of a breach of the Highway Code, you may be issued with a fine or a penalty notice. The fine must be paid. You may also contest it.

In Luxembourg, road traffic is governed by the Luxembourg Highway Code (Code de la route).

Anyone committing a traffic offence is liable for:

  • either a standard fine (avertissement taxé standard - AT);
  • or a penalty notice.

Recipients of fines for speeding offences may lose points on their driver's licence.

Who is concerned

Any driver, holder or owner of a vehicle who has committed a traffic offence.

Deadlines

If you have received a fine, it must be paid within 45 days from the date the offence was established.

How to proceed

Payment of fines

The fine must be paid:

  • either on the spot when the offence is established (mandatory procedure for non-residents), in cash or possibly by credit card;
  • or, within 45 days, if you are unable to pay at the time the offence is established:
    • by bank transfer to the account of the Grand Ducal Police: IBAN LU51 0019 6055 8045 8000 (BIC: BCEELULL);
    • at a police station (cash, possibly by credit card).

In the event of payment by bank transfer, you must state the reference number of the fine and the vehicle's licence plate number.

Cheques and transfer orders issued by foreign banks and sent by post are not accepted.

You can pay the fines concerning illegal parking or stopping either online or by Payconiq (formerly Digicash).

Speeding fines issued after being caught by an automatic speed camera must be paid by other means.

Disputing a standard fine

You can contest the fine on the spot where the offence was established in the presence of the police officer issuing the fine. In that case, the fine is replaced by a standard penalty notice.

If you do not have your main place of residence in Luxembourg and do not pay the fine on the spot, the fine is replaced by standard penalty notice. However, you must pay, on the spot, a deposit corresponding to the amount of the fine.

In cases where a fine is issued and the issuing officer is no longer present (e.g. offence for stopping or parking, i.e. parking fine) it may be disputed as described below: To do so, you can:

  • personally appear at the police station that issued the fine; or
  • send your written objection to: Direction Centrale Police Administrative, Service National des Avertissements Taxés (SNAT), L-2957 Luxembourg.

If the fine is paid within 45 days of the date the offence was established, all proceedings will cease. If the fine is paid after the 45-day limit has elapsed:

  • the amount is reimbursed in the event of acquittal;
  • the amount is deducted from the fine handed down including any legal costs, if convicted.
