Pay a Fine Online – National Fine Recovery Program

The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) is collecting and using your personal information to enforce payment of outstanding federal fines ordered by Canadian courts. The PPSC is responsible for enforcement under the terms of an assignment issued by the Attorney General of Canada in 2007.

The PPSC will retain this information for the time identified in the National Fine Recovery Program personal information bank (PPSC PPU 001). This information may only be shared with other organizations in accordance with subsection 8(2) of the Privacy Act. At the PPSC, it will be available to only those employees who require it for tracking payments made for outstanding fines. The PPSC will not use or disclose your information for any purpose other than the administration of the program. These uses and disclosures are listed in the personal information bank.

Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to request access to your personal information at the PPSC or to request corrections, should you believe there are errors or omissions. To make a request, or for further information on how the PPSC protects your personal information, you may contact the PPSC ATIP Office.

Paying a fine online

Your personal information will be collected via an online form managed by the PPSC. Upon completing the form, you will be redirected to a secure and trusted third-party website (Moneris Solutions) where your fine payment will be processed. The platform will collect payment information: name, credit card number, expiry date, and card security code (CVV).

Security Warning: If you are using this service on a shared computer in a public area (for example, a public kiosk or library), do not leave the computer unattended while doing so. Before leaving the computer, you should clear your browser's cache and close down your browser. These precautions will ensure that no one else can access any personal information you may have entered.

Collection agencies

Collection agencies are collecting, using, and retaining your personal information on behalf of the PPSC to enforce payment of outstanding fines. They will manage the information related to your fine recovery file for the duration of the standing offer to provide the PPSC with services, or sooner if instructed by the PPSC.

They primarily collect this information directly from the PPSC. Sometimes, they may need to request and obtain additional information from credit bureaus in order to update their files. At the end of their contractual agreement with the PPSC, they will return all personal data remaining under our control to the PPSC and keep no copies.

This information will also be available to the PPSC for review and administrative action when necessary.
