What is a Northern Territory Traffic History Check and Why Get One?
A Northern Territory (NT) Traffic History Check provides an official record of your complete traffic history as recorded by Northern Territory Police. It is a key tool for verifying driving conduct, particularly for professional drivers and employers in roles where road safety is essential.
This check is especially useful for individuals working as courier drivers, transport drivers, removalists, truck drivers, or chauffeurs, and for companies screening candidates or employees in transport, logistics, or delivery services. It helps demonstrate a reliable driving record, supports job applications, meets insurance or licensing requirements, and assists employers in managing risk and ensuring compliance in safety-sensitive positions.
PRICE: $82.50 (GST INC)
What information does the NT Traffic History Check include?
The report verifies:
- All traffic infringements
- Minor traffic convictions for the past 10 years (in line with Northern Territory spent convictions legislation)
It covers a range of traffic offences, including (but not limited to):
- Speeding tickets
- Red light camera infringements
- Parking infringements
- Drink driving
Important Note Some matters, such as drink driving, reckless driving, or negligent driving, may be classified as criminal convictions by Northern Territory Police and therefore may not appear on this traffic check. For a complete view of any disclosable criminal convictions, a National Police Check is recommended.

How long does it take to receive an NT Traffic History Check Result?
Estimated turnaround times are provided in working days and are a general guide based on our typical processing experience. We depend on Northern Territory Police for the information, and delays can sometimes occur if they require extra time to respond. We do not offer fixed guarantees or firm completion dates for individual checks. Our standard practice is to keep you promptly and clearly updated if any unexpected delays arise, so you always have the latest status.
How is this different from a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check?
The NT Traffic History Check focuses specifically on traffic infringements and minor traffic-related convictions over the last 10 years. It does not include broader criminal convictions. Serious driving offences that are treated as criminal matters (e.g., drink driving or reckless driving) may be excluded here but could appear on a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check if disclosable.
How far back does the NT Traffic History Check go?
The check includes all traffic infringements and minor traffic convictions from the past 10 years, as recorded by Northern Territory Police and compliant with spent convictions legislation. Older or more serious matters that qualify as spent are not disclosed.
Why is this check useful for employment?
Employers in transport, heavy vehicle operations, delivery, removalist services, or chauffeur roles often require it to confirm an applicant’s or employee’s driving history, support workplace safety standards, satisfy insurance conditions, or meet regulatory obligations.
