The inauguration ceremony for the official launch of the facility to pay traffic fines in the Northern Province through the digital payment system “GovPay,” introduced jointly by the Ministry of Digital Economy, the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA), and LankaPay, with the objective of enhancing the efficiency of public services, was held under the patronage of the Minister of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs Ananda Wijepala, on 28.10.2025 at the Kilinochchi District Secretariat.

Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of the Northern Province, Mr Thilak C. A. Dhanapala, Deputy Inspector General of Police of Vavuniya Range, Mr Indika Hapugoda, Deputy Inspector General of Police of Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu, Mr J. A. Chandrasena, and Deputy Inspector General of Police of Jaffna and Kankesanthurai, Mr G. H. Marapana, along with Directors in charge of the six Police Divisions in the Northern Province and over 150 police officers attached to traffic duties, participated in this event.

Workshops were conducted in the past three days in the Vavuniya and Kilinochchi Police Divisions, with the participation of more than 400 police officers to provide technical knowledge on the use of GovPay, and the required mobile phones were also distributed to the officers.

The Northern Province becomes the third province in Sri Lanka where traffic fines can be paid via GovPay. The payment of fines is already being implemented successfully in the Western and Southern Provinces. Mr Channanda de Silva, Chief Executive Officer of LankaPay stated that a total of 23,539 traffic fine payments have been reported, amounting to approximately 31 million rupees, since the launch of GovPay facility in April 2025.

Accordingly, for the purpose of paying the fines through Govpay in the Northern Province as well, you can ask for instructions from the police officer, who gives you the fine slip. After making the payment, you can get your driving license in that instance. We wish to inform you that, if necessary, you may also make payment at a later time by having referred to the instructions on https://govpay.lk/si/spot-fine.
