TE9 witness statement

Use it for

• Parking PCNs anywhere in England, including London boroughs
• Moving-traffic PCNs outside London
• Dart Charge and Mersey Gateway crossings

If that is not your penalty, you probably need the PE3 statutory declaration instead — the routing follows the enactment the penalty was issued under, not whether you are in London.

What the form requires

Signed

Statement of truth — no witness needed

Deadline

21 days from service of the Order for Recovery

If you are late

Form TE7, asking permission to file late — discretionary

Grounds on the form

Four, including that the penalty was already paid in full

A successful TE9 revokes the Order for Recovery, cancels the registration and its fees, and returns the case to the Notice to Owner stage with a fresh 28-day window for representations. It does not cancel the PCN or decide the merits.

Filing it

• What happens if a TE9 witness statement is not true?
• How do I actually file a TE9 or PE3 - where do the forms come from?
• Should anything go with the TE9 besides the form itself?
• What is a PE3 statutory declaration? Which form do I need - TE9 or PE3?
