How do I pay a jaywalking fine in Tbilisi?

The fined travelers eventually worked out the payment themselves: look for a blue payment machine and follow the on-screen steps. The passport and the fine receipt caused no issues; the terminal also asked for a phone number, and they entered the local number of a guide they knew.

According to one participant, the fine notice arrives by SMS within a few minutes. Paying quickly earns a discount, while late payment adds a penalty; she added that unpaid fines can even lead to a frozen bank account. So it is better not to put off payment.

In September 2026 travelers were fined for crossing the street outside a pedestrian crossing in central Tbilisi. They tried several banks and could not pay there, and did not want to leave it until the airport.

One option that worked is the payment terminal on level -1 of the Galleria Tbilisi mall, next to the TBC bank branch. A participant who paid a fine there in September 2026 thinks any similar terminal would do.

Pedestrians are not the only ones fined. In September 2026 another traveler got a larger fine for riding an e-scooter in a bus lane. He warns that in some places the bus lane is shared with a bike path, so watch the road markings carefully.
