The end of the speed camera jungle in Italy has arrived. As of yesterday, Friday, November 29th, the era of unregistered devices has come to an end: municipalities, local authorities, and law enforcement agencies that have failed to register their devices on the ministerial platform are now forced to turn them off. The penalty for non-compliant administrations is both drastic and immediate: the absolute nullity of any fines imposed.
The Ministry's "White List"
The crackdown follows the entry into force of Ministerial Decree No. 367 of September 29, 2025, which gave management entities 60 days to comply. After that deadline, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport published the official list of legitimate devices.
A move that aims to bring transparency to a sector often perceived by motorists as a mere hidden tax.
The list is publicly available at the link velox.mit.gov.it/dispositivi, allowing every citizen to verify whether the electronic eye that sanctioned him is actually authorized to operate.
The "treasure trove" of fines and the Codacons alarm
Codacons is monitoring the situation, noting that data communication (location, compliance, model) is now a "necessary condition for legitimate use." The consumer association took the opportunity to take stock of the governments' budget: in the 20 largest Italian cities alone, the "treasure" from automatic speed detection generated a whopping €203 million in the three-year period 2022-2024.
"Anyone who has not provided the required data will no longer be able to use speed cameras on their territory," Codacons explains in a statement, underlining that fines issued by phantom devices "will be null and void to all intents and purposes."
The homologation issue: a barrage of appeals is on the way.
While the census brings order to the mapping, an even more heated legal issue remains open: that of technical approval. The chaos has now lasted for 20 months, triggered by the Supreme Court's ruling in April 2024 that declared the invalidity of fines issued by devices that were merely "approved" but not "approved."
According to estimates, today nearly 60% of fixed speed cameras and over 67% of mobile ones fall into this gray area, having been approved before 2017. "We are facing a potential avalanche of appeals," legal experts warn. Between unregistered devices and unapproved equipment, a new season of litigation against public authorities is opening up for Italian drivers.

If the speeding fine increases, the consequences for the offender become more severe, and may include a
Increased fines, multiple points deducted from the license, and, in more serious cases (such as repeat speeding violations exceeding 40 km/h), license suspension or revocation. The severity of the offense depends on the specific violation, which may, for example, be committed at night.
Consequences of exceeding the speed limit
Up to 10 km/h over the limit: Fine (from 42 to 173 euros) and no points deducted.
Between 10 and 40 km/h over the limit: Fine (from 173 to 694 euros) and 3 points deducted from your license.
Between 40 and 60 km/h over the limit: Fine (from 543 to 2.170 euros) and 6 points deducted from your license.
Driving more than 60 km/h over the limit: Fine (from €845 to €3.382) and 10 points deducted from your license.
Consequences in case of recidivism (repeated violations within two years)
Speeding between 40 and 60 km/h: Suspension of driving licence from 8 to 18 months.
Speeding over 60 km/h: License revocation.
Other consequences
Night driving: The fine increases by a third if the violation occurs between 22:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
What changes for speeding fines after November 30th and who will be able to request their cancellation?
November 30, 2025, is the deadline for municipalities, provinces, and police forces to register all their speed cameras on the Ministry of Transport's platform. After this deadline, unregistered speed cameras will be considered illegitimate and must be deactivated. Therefore, all fines based on their recordings will be null and void.
There are only a few days left: by November 30, 2025, municipalities must report all their speed cameras to the Ministry of Transport; provincial governments and police forces must do the same. This is the final phase of the census launched by the Ministry of Transport at the end of September with a specific decree. After that, undeclared detection devices, visible on the public online platform, will no longer be able to issue fines. If they do, the fines will be null and void. Indeed, as the decree itself stated, reporting speed camera data is "a necessary condition for the legitimate use of the devices."
What changes with the speed camera census?
The issue of speed cameras and speeding fines has been a long-running one, and over the years has even attracted the attention of the Court of Cassation. The Ministry of Transport has decided to try to clarify and clarify which devices are compliant, which can be used, and which should be ignored. Thus, about two months ago, a request was submitted to municipal administrations and all other competent bodies.
In recent weeks, municipalities have been required to go to the dedicated portal designated by the ministry and enter all the data on their speed cameras. They had to enter the make and model, the serial number, the details of the decree with which the Ministry of Transport approved or certified it (which must naturally include the same serial number, confirming that it is the same speed camera), the type of device (mobile or fixed, temporary or permanent), the land registry code, and, most importantly, its exact location.

If the speed camera that gave you the fine is not on this list, you don't have to pay: the new rules start today
In this way—at least this is the government's goal—a truly official list of all speed cameras in Italy has been created. This list will now be published and made available online on the ministry's website. This way, you will always be able to know which speed cameras are in operation in your area and where they are located.
What happens to fines now?
The situation is quite simple: if everything worked properly, only the speed cameras on this list will be "official." All others must be turned off. Or, even if they remain in operation, they will not be able to issue valid fines.
Indeed, while municipalities have registered all valid detection instruments, those remaining are considered non-compliant: perhaps because they never received a clear authorization for installation, or because they didn't follow the required criteria. In any case, they will no longer be usable.
This means that, if a fine is issued based on a speed camera, it will always be possible to check whether the device is on the ministry's official list. If it isn't, the fine is invalid and may be considered null and void.
The list is not yet available online. However, the decrees issued by the Ministry of Transport mandated its publication "on the Ministry's institutional portal" to "ensure free consultation." Tomorrow, Friday, November 28th, the sixty-day deadline set by the legislation expires. Therefore, publication is expected in the coming days.

The idea of controlling speed cameras is a good one, but there are still many things that need to be ironed out. It's unclear how fines work and whether citizens can really trust these devices, given the many legal issues.
