[Quote]Demerit points

Demerit points, where applicable, are recorded when one of the following occurs:

*
the infringement notice is paid;
*
the Fines Enforcement Registrar registers the traffic infringement notice;
*
the matter has been heard by a court and a finding of guilty has been declared and penalty pronounced.


Demerit points are allocated from the offence date and remain on your driver's licence for three years.

Demerit point totals are not given over the phone. You can contact the Department for Planning and Infrastructure on 13 11 56 or your local licensing centre.

Certified Record of Demerit Points can only be obtained in person from:

*
local WA police stations.
*
Infringement Management & Operations, 2 Wellington Street, East Perth.

Note: You will need to produce identification such as a driver's licence or passport. [/quote]
