Find answers to common questions
Simply enter your vehicle registration number (plate number) in the search box on the main page and click "Check Tickets". The system will search the Uganda Police Force database for any outstanding tickets.
Make sure to enter your plate number in the correct format, such as "UAA 123P" or "UA 464HH".
The system supports standard Ugandan vehicle registration formats including:
• UAA 123P (3 letters + 3 numbers + 1 letter)
• UA 464HH (2 letters + 3 numbers + 2 letters)
• Similar variations with 2-3 letters, 3-4 numbers, and 1-2 letters
If no tickets are found, it could mean:
• Your vehicle has no outstanding traffic violations (good news!)
• The plate number was entered incorrectly
• There may be a temporary issue with the police database
• The ticket information hasn't been updated in the system yet
The system connects directly to the Uganda Police Force (UPF) traffic ticket database. However, there may be delays between when a ticket is issued and when it appears in the electronic system.
For the most current information, especially for very recent tickets, you may need to contact the issuing police station directly.
Ticket payment methods vary depending on the issuing authority. Common options include:
• Mobile money payments (if a payment reference is provided)
• Bank payments at designated branches
• Direct payment at police stations
• Online payment portals (when available)
Check your ticket details for specific payment instructions and reference numbers.
