Appeal rejected?
You have a year to take it further.

Many people give up when the parking company rejects their appeal. But you can take the case to the Parking Complaints Board (Parkeringsklagenemnda) — an independent body — for up to a year after you appealed. We prepare a finished appeal in Norwegian, tailored to the Board's practice, so your case is as strong as possible.

You have more time than you think

The deadline for appealing to the Parking Complaints Board is one year from the date you sent your original appeal to the parking company. Even if you were rejected months ago and put the matter aside, you may still be within the deadline. If you have a case you believe is strong but never got round to taking further, it is probably not too late.

How to take your case further

1
You appealed to the company
The first step is always an appeal to the parking company. That must be done before the Board can consider the case.
2
You were rejected (or got no reply)
If you were rejected, or the company has not replied within eight weeks (or has not sent a preliminary reply within three weeks), you have the right to appeal to the Board.
3
We prepare the appeal for the Board
We respond to the rejection and build the argument on relevant decisions of the Parking Complaints Board — in the language and with the legal grounds the Board actually gives weight to. The appeal is written in Norwegian, the language in which the Board handles cases.
4
You submit it and follow the case
You open the case on pklagenemnda.no with your own email address, upload the document and follow the case there. It is free of charge for you as a consumer.

How it works — upload the rejection

1
Upload the rejection
Take a photo of the rejection from the parking company, or upload the PDF. We read the text automatically, so you don't have to type it out.
2
We retrieve your earlier case
If you made the original appeal with us, enter the case number — and we fill in the company, licence plate, amount and the rest automatically from the earlier appeal. The fine is carried over too.
3
We write the appeal to the Board
We respond to the rejection and base the appeal on the Board's established practice and the right provisions — ready for you to submit via the Board's own website.

Which cases succeed at the Board?

Most appeals to the Board do not succeed — the Board decides according to strict practice, and the outcome depends heavily on the type of case. But the decisions show a clear pattern in which cases succeed: it is rarely “I thought I had paid”, and more often errors in the sanction itself or gaps in the company's documentation. The Board typically gives weight to one or more of these points:

An appeal that hits these points — with the right legal references — is stronger than an explanation of your good intentions. We assess your case against the Board's practice and build the appeal on the grounds that actually exist. If your case lacks them, we tell you so rather than charge you for an appeal with little chance — read more about when appealing won't help (in Norwegian).

Why prepare the appeal with us?

The Parking Complaints Board decides cases according to established practice and specific provisions of the Norwegian parking regulations (parkeringsforskriften). An appeal that matches that practice — with the right legal references and arguments the Board has upheld before — is far stronger than a frustrated email. We have built a database of the Board's decisions and use it to shape your appeal.

If you already made the original appeal with us, the appeal to the Board costs half price (NOK 49). Otherwise the price is NOK 99. All prices include VAT.

Frequently asked questions

Does this apply to all parking fines?
No. The Parking Complaints Board only handles control sanctions (kontrollsanksjon) — fines for pay-and-display or conditional parking, issued by a parking company or a municipality (typically NOK 330, 660 or 990). A municipal parking fee (parkeringsgebyr, issued under the Road Traffic Act, often NOK 900, for example for stopping where it is prohibited) cannot be appealed to the Board — there, after a rejection, the case can be taken to the district court (tingrett). Check what it says on your fine.
What is the deadline for appealing to the Board?
The deadline is one year from the date you sent the original appeal to the parking company. Many people think it's all over after a couple of weeks, but you actually have plenty of time to escalate if you were rejected.
When can I appeal to the Board?
You must first have appealed to the parking company. You can appeal to the Board if you were rejected, if you have had no reply within eight weeks, or if the company has not sent a preliminary reply within three weeks.
What does it cost to appeal to the Board?
Having the appeal considered by the Parking Complaints Board is generally free for you as a consumer. With us, a finished appeal tailored to the Board's practice costs NOK 99 — or NOK 49 if you already made the original appeal with us. All prices include VAT.
Do I have to pay the fine while the case is being considered?
If you appeal to the Board within three weeks of the company's rejection, you do not have to pay the control sanction until the case has been finally decided. If you appeal later (but within the one-year deadline), the claim may have been sent to debt collection (inkasso) in the meantime — so it pays to act quickly after the rejection.
Who can appeal to the Board?
Only the owner or driver of the vehicle can appeal. If someone appeals on behalf of another person, a written power of attorney (fullmakt) is required. That is why we prepare the appeal ready for you to submit yourself — so it comes from you as the owner or driver.
How do I send the appeal to the Board?
The appeal is submitted via the Parking Complaints Board's own website (pklagenemnda.no), where you open the case with your email address. The Board's website is in Norwegian. We prepare the finished appeal document and the documentation — you upload it to the Board and follow your case there.
Is it worth appealing to the Board?
It depends on the case. Some types of case often succeed — especially where there are errors or gaps in the sanction itself, unclear signage, or where the company cannot document its grounds. Others, such as simply disagreeing that you should have been let off, rarely succeed. Since the Board's handling is free for you as a consumer, the financial downside is small — the most important thing is that the appeal is built on the kind of arguments the Board actually upholds.
What does it take to win at the Parking Complaints Board?
A review of the Board's decisions shows a clear pattern: the strongest appeals are based on errors in the sanction itself or gaps in the company's documentation — not on the driver believing they had paid. Typical winning points are an imprecise or incorrect form, inadequate or unclear signage, a signage plan not registered in the national parking register, and the company being unable to document its own claim that a ticket or registration was missing. We assess your case against these points and are honest with you if the grounds are weak.
How long does a case at the Parking Complaints Board take?
Processing times vary, but you should usually expect several months from submitting the appeal until the Board makes a decision. You follow your case on the Board's website in the meantime. As long as you appealed within the deadline, nothing runs against you while you wait.
What if the parking company doesn't reply to my appeal?
Then you have the right to escalate. If the company has not replied within eight weeks, or has not sent a preliminary reply within three weeks, you can take the case to the Parking Complaints Board even though you never received a formal rejection. A lack of reply is in itself a route to the Board.
What happens if I win at the Board?
If the Board rules in your favour, the control sanction is cancelled. If you have already paid it, the amount must be refunded. The parking companies are members of the Board and comply with its decisions. You don't need to do anything other than follow your case on the Board's website.

Do you have a case you think is strong?

Don't let the rejection be the last word. As long as you are within the one-year deadline, we can prepare an appeal that takes your case further, to the Board.
