Certificates listing national traffic infringements and national traffic convictions are not provided by Western Australia Police. WA Police provide the following:
1.
Traffic Infringement Certificate
- lists WA traffic infringements only and costs $16.50.
2.
Traffic Conviction Certificate
- lists WA traffic convictions only and costs $16.50
Each certificate has its own unique information which is obtained through separate processes that integrate various WA Police systems. The fees are set on a cost recovery basis on each of these separate processes, although the final costing is similar. The fees are specified under the
Police (Fees) Regulations 1981
