Transfer a Breach
If you were not the driver or person responsible for the vehicle when the breach notice was issued, you can transfer liability to the person who was. To start, search for your breach notice and select “Transfer Liability”.
Transferring a breach notice is done by completing a statutory declaration that nominates the person who was the owner of, responsible for, or in possession of the vehicle at the time of the breach. Once we receive a valid declaration, liability moves to the nominated person.
