Leicestershire Police NIP and Section 172 process
Received speeding or red light camera paperwork in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland? Use the verified online portal, preserve the response evidence and check the warning separately.
Checked against primary legal sources for England and Wales · Updated 22 August 2026 · How we review content
For offences covered by section 1 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, the first required warning or NIP must ordinarily reach the registered keeper within 14 days. Statutory exceptions can apply.
Check the first warning chronology
Test the keeper and notice dates privately before assessing any delay. The driver information requirement remains separate.
The first required warning or NIP is ordinarily subject to the statutory timing rule, with exceptions.
Leicestershire says to return the appropriate sections to the address on the form within 28 days.
Verify the notice and the official response route
- Keep the complete notice and envelope.
- Confirm the registered keeper and DVLA address on the offence date.
- Locate the PIN, Notice Number and response date.
- Respond using the route stated on the current notice and retain confirmation.
What the September 2026 FOI response adds
The force reports online responses were available in December 2024 and in 2025, but not in 2023. Its current statement is that onward notices are sent within two working days after portal nominations and five after postal nominations. No report is available, so these are not measured averages or guarantees and do not extend your response deadline.
The 14 day warning rule and 28 day response window
The first warning and the Section 172 driver information requirement answer different questions. A possible timing issue does not safely suspend the response duty.
Where a lease provider, hire business or employer was the registered keeper, the later notice addressed to the driver may not be the first notice in the chain.
What is the official Leicestershire online portal?
The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership directs recipients to https://leicestershire.rsportal.org.uk/ to respond online and view photographic evidence. The login uses the PIN code and Notice Number printed on the NIP.
This corrects the supplied pas.leics.police.uk address, which is not the current portal published by the official partnership.
Where should a physical response be sent?
Current Leicestershire Police guidance says to complete the appropriate sections and return the notice to the address shown on the form within 28 days.
The supplied Nottingham PO box is not published as a universal current address on the force response page. Follow the address on the current document and keep a copy and proof of posting.
What can the regional road safety site verify?
The official partnership publishes a camera locations map, calibration certificates, collision and casualty data, community concern sites and camera van enforcement information.
These force specific resources are better evidence than an unsupported list of supposed hotspots. A published site or historic record does not guarantee active enforcement at a particular time.
What may happen after identification?
Leicestershire Police says the usual routes are a driver awareness course, a conditional fixed penalty or court proceedings. A high speed allegation may go to court in the first instance.
A course is not an entitlement. The current correspondence, alleged speed and relevant course history determine the available route.
Evidence to preserve
- The full notice and envelope
- PIN, Notice Number and portal confirmation
- V5C keeper and address information
- Offence, issue, delivery and response dates
- A copy of the completed response
- Fleet, lease, hire or address change records
Turn your paperwork into a clear next-step checklist.
Preserve the notice, dates and response record
Build a notice chronology, deadline record, document checklist and concise solicitor briefing in NoticeReady Case. It does not determine whether the notice is valid.
