How to find your letter

  1. 1 Look at the heading of your letter — the local name is printed there, and every card below shows it.
  2. 2 Open the card: what the letter means, who sends it and what usually happens next.
  3. 3 Where the period is fixed, count your own last day from the day the letter was delivered to you.

    An out-of-court fine (εξώδικο) from Cyprus's speed and red-light cameras, sent to the car's owner by registered letter or served by hand. You have 90 days from service to pay it; after that half is added and the case can go to court.
