The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has started sending Notices of Violation (NOVs) to motorists caught by No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) cameras.
NOVs are sent via postal mail, typically arriving within five to seven days after the violation. The MMDA Motorcycle Unit is also assisting in delivering notices. Remember, these are sent to the registered owner of the vehicle, regardless of who was driving at the time.
MMDA assures motorists that all NCAP violations undergo manual review before fines are issued.
Since its reinstatement on May 26, 2025, the system uses CCTV cameras to monitor major roads in Metro Manila for traffic violations. Instead of being stopped by officers, motorists receive a mailed notice detailing the infraction.
Motorists can pay fines through the Landbank Link.BizPortal or in person at the MMDA Head Office in Pasig City. Appeals can be filed online at this link or in person at the MMDA Traffic Adjudication Division (Julia Vargas Ave. at Molave St., Barangay Ugong, Pasig City; Monday to Friday, 7 AM–4 PM).
The MMDA assures violators that late payments will not incur penalties or interest. However, unpaid fines will result in the vehicle’s license plate being flagged in the Land Transportation Office (LTO) alarm list, preventing future registration.
