TraffiTech-GH Fines: How Much They Cost, How to Pay on Ghana.gov or *222#, and the 14-Day Deadline

Short answer: pay a TraffiTech-GH fine only on www.ghana.gov.gh (MTN, Telecel or AT mobile money, or a bank card) or by dialling *222# and choosing option 6. You have 14 days from the date of the notice. After that, 1% of the fine is added for every day you are late, and unpaid fines block DVLA services such as renewing your licence or transferring a vehicle. Never pay a fine to a person or a personal mobile money number.

How much is the fine?

The amount is written on your notice. For automated offences, the fines under Regulation 242 of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2519), as published when the rules were explained in September, are:

• 1st, 2nd and 3rd offence: GH₵120 each (10 penalty units)
• 4th offence: GH₵180 (15 penalty units)
• 5th offence: GH₵240 (20 penalty units)
• 6th offence within 24 months: you can be taken to court, and your licence can be suspended or revoked for at least 12 months, with retraining and retesting.

One penalty unit is GH₵12, which is why the amounts move if the unit changes. Always go by the amount on your own notice and on Ghana.gov.

How to pay on Ghana.gov

1. Type www.ghana.gov.gh into your browser yourself. Check that the address is exactly that before you go on.
2. Enter the ticket number from your text message.
3. Look at the photo or video evidence and the details.
4. Pay with MTN, Telecel or AT mobile money, or with a debit or credit card, and keep the receipt.

How to pay by USSD

Dial *222#, choose option 6 and follow the prompts. To see whether a vehicle has any outstanding fines, dial *220#.

What happens if you do not pay

• Late penalty: after 14 days, an extra 1% of the original fine for each day of default.
• DVLA block: unpaid fines stop DVLA services such as licence renewal and vehicle transfer until you clear them.
• Repeat offences can end in court and a suspended licence (see above).

Paying is not the only option

If you think the notice is wrong, you can contest it online within the same 14 days, but paying settles the case, so decide first. See how to check or contest a TraffiTech-GH notice.

Never pay these

• A text asking you to send money to a personal mobile money number.
• A message from any sender other than GPS-MTTD, or one pushing you to tap a link to pay.
• An officer asking for cash for a TraffiTech-GH fine. The police say: do not pay.
