The Bank Account name on Traffic Infringement Notices is incorrect - what is the correct name

john machin made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for john machin to read a recent response and update the status.

From: john machin

Dear New Zealand Police,

You are currently issuing Infringement Notices (Under the Land Transport Act 1998), and requesting members of the public receiving these notices to make payment to "Police Bank Account" with number supplied as "03-0049-0000802-27".

Unfortunately, the detail for Payment on the Infringement notice is incorrect and fails the CoP (Confirmation of Payee) test when attempting to make payment.

Section 141/3 of the Land Transport Act 1998 is very clear "must be paid into a Crown Bank Account"

Can the NZ Police please confirm the Name, and Bank account number.

Can the NZ police please confirm that the Account receiving these funds is indeed a Crown Bank Account.

Can NZ Police please confirm the number of Infringement notices issued with this error since CoP went live across the board at Easter 2025.

Can NZ Police (Infringement Bureau) advise the number of emails / letters / communications they have received on this matter since November 2024 when CoP commenced.

The Infringement Bureau has been requested to provide the correct account information but there remains radio silence from them.

Yours faithfully,

John Machin
