Sydney Interview, Paid Traffic Fine proof???

[OptimusSpice 164]

I may be worried over nothing (funny how this process will do that to a person!)....but, my fiance got his AFP report and it shows a traffic infringement with a $100 fine.  It doesn't say "paid" or anything.  He did pay it and he holds a valid driver's license, but other than a valid DL - he doesn't have a record of payment (it was over 5 years ago).  He went to the courthouse to inquire about obtaining proof that he paid it and they looked at him with blank stares and asked if he had a valid DL, why isn't that proof enough?  He explained he had a Visa interview and needed proof of payment and they told him "Sorry mate, we don't have anything we can give you to help you".  So, my question is - is this going to be a problem at his interview?  Or will it be okay since it was a traffic infringement, fine under $500, paid, and he has a valid DL (as opposed to a criminal arrest, court conviction, etc)??

Thank you.  I looked into it and WA does have the same, but also - only goes back 5 years.  His was in 2010 so 7 years back and not available.  He's going to inquire at the Police Station to see if they have anything that goes further back.

To cover all bases, just have him complete and sign a Statutory Declaration stating that the fine was paid, and you have attempted to gain proof of this, but as records on go back 5 years, this is no longer possible. Then have that Stat Dec witnessed by a Justice of the Peace at his local Police Station (which is free).

 

It's only a traffic fine, so I would say that's more than sufficient and it should check off a box for you
