Transfer liability for a parking ticket

Step 1.Fill out the statutory declaration

Fill out the stationary vehicle statutory declaration with information explaining why you are not liable for this infringement. For example:

• your car was stolen
• you recently sold your car
• your business owns the car but someone else was driving it (eg, rental car, courtesy car).

Before you sign the form and add the date and place, you need to find an authorised witness.

Step 2.Get the statutory declaration witnessed

Once you've found an authorised witness, you'll need to meet them in person. Then you can sign the form and fill in the date and place. 

The witness must view you completing the statutory declaration and also sign it themselves.

Only certain people can be an authorised witness. These include:

• a Justice of the Peace
• a solicitor or notary public
• a Court registrar or deputy registrar
• a Member of Parliament.

Step 3.Gather supporting evidence

You’ll need to provide evidence to support the facts in your statutory declaration. For example: 

• a Police report if your car was stolen
• a change of ownership form, sale agreement or NZTA transfer receipt if you sold your car before the infringement took place. 

Step 4.Submit your application

Appeal your ticket online and upload your statutory declaration and supporting evidence. Each file must be less than 3MB.
