When Does a Pcn Have to Be Issued?

Legislation states that postal PCNs must be sent within 28 days, unless otherwise stated in the Regulations.

Can a PCN be served after 28 days?

By law the PCN must be issued within 28 days of when the traffic warden saw the parking rule was broken or it was caught on camera. Drivers can challenge the fine or have 28 days to pay: a discount of 50% is available for payment within 14 days (21 days if vehicle is caught on camera and the PCN is posted).
