It is very wrong to think that one of the most sought-after subjects on travel sites for Italy is Rome, Florence, Milan or Venice. The number-one search topic is about a subject that still generates a lot of discussion: fines! To be more specific, the number one question for travelers is \u201chow much time do I have to pay them?<\/strong>\u201d So today, I bring you a well-explained post on the maturity of fines in Italy. Let’s go to our post: How much time do I have to pay a fine in Italy? Here at\u00a0<\/span>Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patricia<\/b><\/a><\/strong>you make the trip of your dreams!!!\u00a0ALSO: see our\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAccommodation in Italy \u2013 Tips for your holidays!\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n “Ana Patr\u00edcia, I received a fine in Italy last year … do I have to pay it?” – well, let’s take one\u00a0 thing at a time! Before thinking about not paying the fine, let’s talk a little bit; I don’t want to lecture anyone, after all we are adults and aware of our actions. We all have our free will, our ethics, our principles and our character. So, paying or not, is beyond paying a few euros! We know that every action generates a reaction, and – even if you did not want to – you received a fine, my suggestion: bear the burden and pay it!<\/p>\n If you do not pay the fine and intend to return to Italy soon, it is important to be aware that you may not be able to rent a car,<\/strong> for example, since the fine is in the system of both the police and the rental companies. Of course, it will appear that there is a fine in your name that has not been paid and, therefore, you will not find a rental company that accepts the risk of receiving another fine.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dont’ forget to check our section about travelling by car in Italy!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe authorities have a period of 360 days to send the notification of a fine to the home of drivers residing in other countries<\/strong>\u201d, that is, it takes time, but it arrives! You can be sure! Include in this period also, a possible stoppage of post offices, atypical events (such as closed airports), etc. – as the period may change due to force majeure.\u00a0Well, let’s get straight to the point:<\/strong><\/p>\n After five years from the date the infraction was registered,<\/strong> but it is IMPORTANT<\/strong> that you know that the municipality responsible for issuing the fine can appeal and collect it in court with interest and monetary correction! Municipalities are entitled to charge for alleged violations even after the fine has expired.<\/strong><\/p>\n You can also appeal if you receive a fine that you do not recognize, only if there is no license plate photographed, otherwise, there is nothing to discuss, they are irreducible.<\/p>\n The notification can arrive in up to 360 days<\/strong> (consider adverse events such as mail delays, for example.)<\/p>\n Check if you recognize the fine,<\/strong> access the municipality website – everything is indicated on the fine: where to access, password, code – and make the payment<\/strong>. Even after the established deadline, the fine does not expire and, as we said earlier, the issuing party can go to court to make you pay. For example: you received the fine after two years;<\/strong> the time limit for prescribing will be three years, totaling five years, however, I reinforce, even after the expiry of the fine, you can be sued.<\/p>\n If you appeal and receive no response<\/strong>, it means the municipality has accepted your justification and will not charge you anymore;<\/strong> they will write off the infraction and remove your name from the penalty system. If you appeal and receive a new notification, you have 30 days to make the payment, and this indicates that the municipality has not accepted your justification.<\/p>\n Because the rental company needs to pay to inform the driver\u2019s name at the time of the infraction to the municipality,<\/strong> and it charges you this fee; it is not authorized to pay the fine, it can only indicate the person responsible for it, which in this case is you. After indicating the driver and paying the amount so that the municipality issues the fine in your name and sends it to your address, the responsible for sending and collecting the fine becomes the municipality, that is: the rental company DOES NOT CHARGE AND DOES NOT PAY FINES RECEIVED.<\/strong><\/p>\n
