1. Check the deadline first
An administrative complaint must be filed within 8 days of the date the fine was issued. Check this before anything else, because once the window closes the administrative route is shut.
The issue date is the one written on the fine, not the day you found or read it. If the fine was left on your vehicle, the date is still the one the officer wrote.
2. Decide: pay or contest
These are two different routes and you have to pick one. Paying within 15 days usually lets you settle at 50% of the amount, but paying means accepting the offence.
Contesting keeps the case open. If you have no concrete argument, paying early may simply be cheaper. If you have evidence or a circumstance that puts the fine in doubt, it is worth contesting.
3. Gather your documents
You need the fine itself, an identity document, and any evidence that supports your case. The most useful evidence shows the place, the time or the state of the vehicle: photos, video or witness statements.
If the case involves the vehicle, keep its documents to hand. Never alter or retouch a document: an edited document damages a case far more than a missing one.
4. Write the complaint clearly
A good complaint is specific and short. It identifies the fine by number and date, says exactly what is being disputed, and backs it with facts.
Avoid emotional language and sweeping claims. For anything you cannot prove with a document, say so explicitly rather than presenting it as established fact.
AnkesaPRO does this step for you: it scans the fine, extracts the details, asks a few questions about the circumstances and generates the structured text.
5. File it and track the case
You file with the competent institution. Always ask for a stamped, protocolled proof of filing; without it you have no evidence that you met the deadline.
Keep a full copy of everything you submit. If the case goes further, that copy becomes the basis for every later step.
