G57 Ticket in Peru: Quick Guide for Drivers

The G57 fine sneaks up on you: you run a red light, miss a “No Turn” sign, or don’t yield… and suddenly the ticket arrives. First thing you think: now what?

It’s a serious violation you get when you ignore a traffic sign. This ticket acts as a catch-all for various sign-related offenses that lack a dedicated penalty code. It covers everything from blowing through stop signs and making prohibited turns to disregarding pavement markings or driving against traffic.

It’s roughly 8% of the current UIT. In 2025 the UIT is 5,350 soles, so the ticket is about 428 soles. The amount changes every year when they update the UIT.

The good part: pay fast and you save big.

• Within the first 5 business days after you officially receive the notice → up to 83% off.
• After those 5 days but before the case is closed → up to 67% discount.
• Wait longer and you pay full price.

Every G57 adds 20 points to your driving record. Those points last 2 years. Hit 100 points or more in that time and they can suspend or even cancel your license.

In Lima just go to the SAT website, put in your DNI, license number or plate and you’ll see everything instantly.

In the provinces most municipalities have their own online system, or you can check on the MTC website.

Check every couple of months, especially if you think you might have messed up recently. That way you can grab the biggest discount if something pops up.

In Lima the easiest is online through SAT: log in, confirm the ticket, pay with card.

Or go in person to an SAT office or to banks like BCP, BBVA, Interbank, Scotiabank, BanBif.

Outside Lima it depends on your local municipality — check their website or drop by the traffic police station.
