If you have fines issued after May 1, 2010, you may pay the total fine and reinstatement fee at a Service Ontario location. You will then be able to activate your driver’s licence the same day if there are no other outstanding requirements or restrictions.

If you have fines issued prior to May 1, 2010, you are required to make a payment at a Provincial Offences Court. After paying your fine, it will take between three and five days before you can visit a Service Ontario location to pay your licence reinstatement fee and activate your licence if there are no other outstanding requirements or restrictions.

If making a payment online, please note that it may take up to 10 days before you are able to attend a Service Ontario location to pay the reinstatement fee.

If you need additional assistance, please contact your local Provincial Offences Court.

Court-ordered fines remain owing until paid. Even if your fine is old or you have claimed bankruptcy, you are still responsible for paying outstanding fines in full.

At any time, the court may apply enforcement actions including licence suspension and Court-ordered deductions from your paycheque until the fine is no longer outstanding.

If you need more time to pay your court-ordered fine, you can apply for a Motion for Extension of Time to Pay the Fine.

You can submit your completed form:

• By email: @email
• In person at the address listed on your ticket

Your application will be reviewed by the Clerk of the Court to determine if its approved or will be deferred to a Justice of the Peace.

Important: It is your responsibility to contact the court office within two weeks to confirm if your extension was granted.

Payment Plans

Flexible installment options are available. To ask about a payment plan, contact the POA Collections Unit at 905-898-0425 or @email

York Region is responsible for the collection of Provincial Offences Act (POA) fines. This includes partially paid fines and those that are in default.

Every person convicted of an offence under the Provincial Offences Act is sent a Notice of Fine and Due Date by York Region. A fine goes into default if it is not paid in full by the due date listed on the notice.

Consequences of Unpaid Fines

York Region may use a variety of collection methods for defaulted POA fines, including:

• Referring the unpaid fines to external collection agencies contracted by York Region
• Adding the outstanding amount to a municipal property tax roll
• Requesting driver's licence suspension through the Ministry of Transportation
• Denying licence plate renewal
• Pursuing civil enforcement in Small Claims or Superior Court of Justice

Failure to pay a POA fine may result in:

• Driver's licence suspension
• Licence plate renewal restrictions
• Wage or bank account garnishment
• Property seizure
• Debt added to a property tax roll
• Collection agency involvement
• Potential impacts to your credit score

What additional fees could apply if you don’t pay your fine?

If your fine goes into default, extra costs may apply. These fees are in addition to your original fine and can include:

• Default fees - Charged after multiple reminders and payment options have been offered
• Collection agency fees - If your account is sent to a licensed third-party collection agency, their commission will be added to your balance
• Licence reinstatement fees - If your driver’s licence is suspended, the Ministry of Transportation charges a fee to reinstate it

Court administration staff and prosecution staff cannot provide legal advice on how you should proceed. If you are unable to make a choice from the three options listed on the reverse side of your ticket, you may wish to get advice from a lawyer or licensed paralegal.

If you have scheduled a trial but want to pay your fine instead, you can: 

• Pay your ticket online
• Call the court office at 905-898-0425 or 1-877-331-3309 up to three days before the trial date
• Visit the courthouse in person at any Provincial Offences Court in Ontario
