The official sender ID is GPS-MTTD, and genuine notifications will not come from any other source, even if it appears similar.\n\nMotorists must check the electronic notice for details such as the vehicle's photograph, registration number, location, date, and time of the violation, as well as any accompanying video evidence. Traffic fines can now be paid via the National Identification Authority (NIB) Payment Portal (https://traffitech-ghpay.nib.com.gh) by selecting the Make Payment option, entering the ticket number, and following the prompts. Alternatively, payments can be made through the USSD code *710*0#, using the ticket number for the transaction.\n\nThe Police Service has strongly advised motorists and vehicle owners against paying fines to personal mobile money numbers or via unofficial accounts.
