Can anyone tell me how to pay a parking ticket? No digital option. Is it a phone process?

  1. As is usual in Germany, by direct bank transfer. The IBAN is right there at the bottom of the ticket; you also need to be sure to put the number at the top (under “Aktenzeichen”) in the “Verwendungszweck” field. Theoretically, with the right app, you can scan the QR code which has all the information, but since the print seems to have faded that might not work so well.

  2. I think it’s highly suspicious, that the Zeuge (witness) is 007…
    The tip using bank transfere using IBAN is right. I had such an incident a few weeks ago…

  3. Or just throw it away – the city will send an official letter with the fine to the owner of the car.

    I twice got a ticket for parking and accidentally wipped it from the window.

  4. Check first that you are fine with the parking ticket. If there is nothing against from your side and you can do your online banking via smart phone open your banking app and use that QR-Code for the money transfer. QR-Code looks like it is still working.

    Otherwise you should wait with paying the ticket and you will get a letter from police or Ordnungsamt. You can reject the fine in response to the letter and wait for their reaction.
    You can reject if someone different parked the car at this time or there was no ticketing possible and so on.

    But if you want to blame another person you have to give her name. Otherwise you have to pay by yourself. This game of people claiming they weren’t driving and can’t remember who was was played too often in the past. That’s why now the vehicle owner is held liable.

  5. Is it normal they put all the info directly on the ticket they put on your windscreen?

    I only ever got a parking ticket once and it was a generic note saying I would receive mail from them.

  6. Off topic (you already got your answer) but I just love that James Bond (007) is the witness.
