Please use the 'Stationary Vehicle Offence Infringement Notice Explanation' form to report to us who was driving or in charge of the vehicle at the time the infringement was issued.
Please provide as many relevant details as possible, including the other person's full name, residential address and date of birth. The Marlborough District Council may then consider forwarding the notice to them.

When a vehicle is bought or sold, both the buyer and the seller are legally required to independently notify the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) of the sale and purchase. They must do this without delay.
However, there are times when one or both of the parties have not advised the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) to update their records to show the newly registered person's name. This is probably the reason why you have received a reminder notice for a parking infringement.
If you have not advised NZTA on the sale or purchase of your vehicle, you need to do so as soon as possible.
Go to NZTA web page to see instructions on what buyers and sellers do to change vehicle ownership
To update or check your address details you need to also go to the NZTA website.
Check or update your address details on the NZTA website
If you receive an infringement notice for a vehicle after you had notified NZTA of the sale of the vehicle, you can request a transfer of liability to the new owner.
