You can check traffic fines registered on a car online through the “Traffic Prosecutions” services of Egypt's Public Prosecution, or the “Vehicle licence fines inquiry” service on the Digital Egypt platform. You will need the car's plate details and licence type, and the required fields may differ depending on whether the plate has letters and numbers or numbers only.
Once the fines appear, you can move on to payment, request a clearance certificate, or use the appeal service available within the fines services. The Public Prosecution portal supports online payment with Meeza, Visa and Mastercard cards.
The inquiry starts by choosing “Vehicle licence fines” and entering the plate details on the Public Prosecution's Traffic Prosecutions page.
The prosecution's form offers different options for owner details, including the national ID number for citizens, a passport for foreigners, and a commercial register for legal entities. The details you actually need depend on the type of applicant and the fields shown in the form.
You can also use the Digital Egypt platform. The platform lists the licence type and plate number among the required details, and lets you view records of registered fines.
Vehicle fines are linked to the car's licence and plate details, while driving licence fines are linked to the driver and require the licence number and licensing details.
| Inquiry type | Document linked to the fine | Basic details |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle licence fines | Car licence | Licence type and plate number |
| Driving licence fines | Driver's licence | Licence number, governorate, licence type and licensing unit |
The Traffic Prosecutions page shows two separate routes for vehicle licence fines and driving licence fines. Digital Egypt also explains that the driving licence fines service relies on the licence number, governorate, licence type and licensing unit, not the car's plate number.
If your goal is to check a car's status before buying it, choose vehicle licence fines. If you want to see fines linked to your licence as a driver, use the driving licence fines service.
Traffic fines are paid after checking the registered fines and choosing the payment service available within the official platform.
The Public Prosecution portal states that traffic services allow checking driving and vehicle fines and paying online with Meeza, Visa and Mastercard cards.
Digital Egypt also describes its “Fines payment service” as allowing you to pay fines and obtain a clearance certificate or submit an appeal. The open service page does not specify every stage of the payment interface or the card types accepted on Digital Egypt, so follow the options shown by the platform when you create the request.
The official sources reviewed did not confirm that payment via Fawry or mobile wallets is available within these services. So don't rely on any method that isn't officially mentioned unless it appears inside the service platform when you make the request.
Digital Egypt offers a service called “Pay vehicle fines for another owner”, which allows paying fines on behalf of the vehicle owner when the required details are available.
You can access the service via the Digital Egypt platform. The page explains that the service is available if the applicant has the other owner's details, but the open page does not list every detail that will be requested during the process.
The existence of this service doesn't mean the plate number alone is enough to complete payment. Prepare the vehicle licence and owner details, then review the fields shown inside the service before paying.
You can request a clearance certificate within the fines payment service to prove the registered traffic fines have been settled.
Digital Egypt explains that the fines payment service allows you to obtain a clearance certificate alongside payment or appeal. If you request delivery of the fines settlement certificate, delivery charges appear while creating the request, and the service page does not publish a fixed amount.
The requested document is delivered by a postal courier within three working days of submitting the service request. It is handed over in a sealed envelope to the person concerned or their legal representative.
If the applicant misses the delivery appointment or deliberately does not receive the document, the envelope is returned to the traffic prosecution and the applicant bears the delivery charges. Check the delivery address and contact details before submitting the request.
An appeal is available within the official fines services when you believe a registered fine is incorrect or doesn't relate to the vehicle or licence being checked.
Start by checking the fines, and determine whether the fine is linked to the vehicle licence or the driving licence. Then use the appeal option offered by the fines service, because choosing the wrong licence type may take you to a different record. Digital Egypt confirms that appeals are available within the fines payment service.
The open official pages reviewed did not specify a fixed response time for appeals, or a standard list of documents required for each case. Nor did they clarify how paying a fine affects the possibility of appealing it later, so review the appeal conditions shown on the platform before paying.
The Public Prosecution portal allows checking vehicle and driving licence fines and paying online, while Digital Egypt offers separate services for inquiry, payment, appeals, clearance certificates and paying vehicle fines for another owner.
| Service | Public Prosecution portal | Digital Egypt |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle fines inquiry | Available | Available |
| Driving licence fines inquiry | Available | Available |
| Paying fines | Available | Available |
| Payment methods confirmed on the open page | Meeza, Visa, Mastercard | Not specified in the open service description |
| Appeal | Within traffic services | Available within the fines service |
| Clearance certificate | Within traffic services | Available within the payment service |
| Paying vehicle fines for another owner | No separate service shown on the open page | Dedicated service available |
The Public Prosecution portal confirms that traffic services include checking driving and vehicle fines and online payment, while Digital Egypt provides separate pages for inquiry, payment and paying fines for another owner.
Use the platform that offers the procedure you want to carry out. And don't go to a non-government website to enter your national ID number, licence details or bank card.
The open official pages don't show a fixed fee for the inquiry, but confirm there are extra charges for delivering the fines settlement certificate.
Digital Egypt shows delivery charges while creating the request, meaning the amount appears before the service is completed rather than being published as a fixed figure on the description page. So a single total that applies to all requests can't be given without completing the transaction and seeing the delivery options shown.
You should also distinguish between three different amounts:
Review the request summary before paying, and don't rely on fees published on car websites or old articles if they don't appear on the official platform.
You can check the fines registered on a used car's licence using the plate details, but some follow-up services may require the registered owner's details.
Ask the seller to run the inquiry in front of you through the Public Prosecution portal or Digital Egypt. Match the plate letters and numbers with the car and its vehicle licence, then review the fines shown before paying a deposit or signing the sale contract.
If the plate is numbers only, the prosecution's form shows fields for the licence number, governorate and licence type. Newer plates have a dedicated “letters and numbers” route in the form.
A fines inquiry shows the registered traffic status, but it doesn't assess the condition of the engine or chassis, or signs of accidents. So a professional technical inspection is a separate step before buying; you can use Biddex's inspection service to check the car's technical condition before completing the deal.
An updated amount for the fine for driving against traffic cannot be confirmed from the Public Prosecution or Digital Egypt pages reviewed, and unofficial sources publish conflicting amounts and penalties.
So no single figure should be published as the current amount without matching it to an official, current legal text. To find the amount registered on a specific car, use the official inquiry service and review the fine details shown in the vehicle's record.
The amount registered electronically should not be confused with the legal penalty, which may depend on how the offence is described and the provision applied. The fine amount, the possibility of settlement and any additional penalty need direct documentation from current legislation.
The vehicle licence fines service lets you start the inquiry using the car's plate details and selecting its type. The form may ask for additional details such as governorate, licence type and owner details, depending on the plate type and chosen route.
The open official pages did not publish a specific fee for the inquiry itself. So it cannot be confirmed that all stages of the service are free, especially as payment, document issuance and delivery may involve extra amounts.
Yes, Digital Egypt offers a “Pay vehicle fines for another owner” service when the required owner and vehicle details are available. The open description page doesn't list every detail, so review the fields when you start the service.
The Public Prosecution portal confirms that Meeza, Visa and Mastercard cards are accepted for online payment of traffic services. The open official pages reviewed did not confirm that Fawry or mobile wallets are available.
The document is delivered by a postal courier within three working days of submitting the request. It is handed in a sealed envelope to the person concerned or their legal representative, and delivery charges appear while creating the request.
No; it shows the fines registered on the vehicle licence, but provides no technical assessment of the engine, chassis or accident damage. Run the inquiry with the seller present, then have the car technically inspected before completing the purchase.
