Police are urging people to check whether they have any outstanding warrants for unpaid court fines and to settle them promptly.
How to check
An online service on the government portal lets people check whether any warrants are outstanding against them for fines imposed by a court. It is available at www.gov.cy/service/enimerosi-gia-tychon-ekkremounta-entalmata-prostimou/.
How to pay
Anyone who finds they have an outstanding warrant can settle the debt in one of two ways:
- Pay the full amount at any police station, at any time of the day or night.
- Pay in instalments, with the approval of the Attorney General. Approved instalments can be paid only at the offices of the Warrant Execution Unit or at the police stations responsible for executing the debtor’s warrants.
How to apply for instalments
To pay in instalments, people must fill in an application form, available on the Law Office of the Republic’s website at www.law.gov.cy/law/law.nsf/forms-el/forms-el?OpenDocument.
Completed forms can be sent by email to [email protected], or handed in at the Law Office of the Republic, where there is a dedicated box for these applications.
