Safe speed cameras detect speeding vehicles or running of red lights and an infringement notice is sent to the owner of the vehicle.
If you receive an infringement notice and you want to find out who was driving, you can request a photo. Static (fixed) and mobile safe speed cameras are designed to photograph vehicles, not drivers. It is the vehicle owner's responsibility to identify who was driving at the time of the offence.
Safe speed camera photo requests are free and cannot be actioned over the phone.
As of June 30 2025, Police no longer operate safety cameras in New Zealand. Please ensure you are only requesting photos for offences issued by Police before this date. For safety camera offences issued by NZTA, please refer to the NZTA website.
If you would like to request a photo for a Police safety camera offence issued before 30 June 2025, please use the Contact Police Infringement Bureau online form.
Requests for safe speed camera photos can only be made in writing by the person named on the original notice or an authorised representative of a company or incorporated body.
