Service and Execution of Process Act 1992

A fine enforcement officer of the originating State for a fine may request registration of the fine in another State if:

the liability of the offender to pay the fine has not been fully discharged; and

there is reason to believe that the offender is resident in, or appears to be resident in, the other State; and

the fine is any of the following:

a post‑commencement fine;

a pre‑commencement fine that is related to a post‑commencement fine;

a pre‑commencement serious fine.

The request must:

be in writing; and

be made to a fine enforcement officer of the other State; and

be accompanied by a copy of the order, however described, of the court imposing the fine; and

be accompanied by, or include:

a statement by a fine enforcement officer of the originating State stating that the liability of the offender to pay the fine has not been fully discharged, and specifying the amount of the fine that remains unpaid;

if the fine is a pre‑commencement serious fine—a statement by a fine enforcement officer of the originating State stating why the originating State considers the fine is a serious fine.

A single request under subsection (1) may relate to more than one fine, in which case this section applies to each of the fines to which the request relates.

A request cannot be made under this section for registration of a fine that is already registered in another State.
