Is SIMIT down? User reports show no current problems with SIMIT
SIMIT is the national system where Colombia's traffic fines meet in one place, and simit.org.co is where drivers search, pay and clear their record. This page follows the SIMIT status and SIMIT down reports from drivers across the country. When the fine search stalls before a holiday weekend, the pattern shows here at once.

Is SIMIT down right now?
The SIMIT status here rests on SIMIT down reports from drivers checking fines across Colombia. The portal takes heavy traffic before long weekends and at month end, and slowdowns then are shared, not personal. Taxpayers in Bolivia filing through SIN Impuestos know those month-end slowdowns well from the Oficina Virtual.
Run your own test at simit.org.co with a search by ID document. If the search answers with your record or a clean no-fines message, the core is up.
Is SIMIT down for me or everyone?
Repeat the search from another device or a different network. When both attempts fail at the same step, the fault is shared. When the second works, clear your browser data and finish the process there instead of fighting the first device.
Searching fines by ID card or plate
The search on simit.org.co takes an ID document number or a vehicle plate, after a short captcha check. Results list each fine with its state, amount and the transit office that issued it. No account or password is needed, which keeps the search open to any driver at any hour.
Search by document to see fines tied to you as a driver, and by plate to see fines tied to the vehicle. Check both before a vehicle sale, since a clean result on one does not clear the other.
Paying online and keeping the early-payment discount
Paying fast carries a discount, and the online checkout keeps that discount when you pay inside the allowed window. The portal takes PSE debit and cards, or you can download a payment slip and pay at a bank instead. Keep the payment receipt the portal issues.
Downloading the paz y salvo after you pay
Once the payment settles, the portal issues the paz y salvo, the clearance document that proves you owe nothing. Buyers, employers and transit offices ask for it during vehicle paperwork. If a SIMIT outage interrupts the payment step, the fine can stay listed as pending even though the bank sent the money. The clearance will not build until the record clears.
What a payment agreement does to your record
A payment agreement splits a fine into instalments agreed with the transit office. The fine stays on your record until the last instalment lands. The portal shows the agreement state next to the fine, so anyone checking sees the debt is being paid rather than ignored.
Common SIMIT Problems and Fixes
SIMIT work follows one path: search, check the fine, pay, then download the clearance. Most faults sit on that path, in the captcha, the payment hand-off or the clearance build.
Fine search returns nothing for a fine you know exists
Fines take time to travel from the issuing transit office into the national system, so a very recent fine can be missing. Search by plate as well as by document, since the fine could sit under the vehicle.
Captcha will not accept the answer
The captcha refreshes when the page sits open too long. Reload the search page, answer the new captcha at once and run the search in the same visit. Ad blockers can also hide the captcha box, so pause them for simit.org.co.
Online payment fails at the bank step
The bank page has its own timer, and a slow login there kills the checkout. Have your bank details ready before you start, and do not use the back button mid-payment. If a debit still went out, keep the bank proof and let the record update before paying again.
Paid fine still shows as pending
Payments settle into the fine record with a delay, and the pending label can survive into the next day. Keep the portal receipt and the bank proof together. If the fine still shows pending after two days, contact the transit office that issued it with both documents.
Paz y salvo will not download
The clearance builds only when every fine on the record shows as settled. One pending agreement instalment blocks it. Download from a computer browser if the phone fails.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check my traffic fines in SIMIT?
Open simit.org.co, pass the captcha and search with your ID document number or your vehicle plate. The result lists every fine and its state.
Can I pay a SIMIT fine online?
Yes. The portal takes PSE and card payments, and you can also download a slip to pay at a bank. Save a copy of the receipt in both cases.
What discount do I get for paying a fine fast?
Early payment inside the set window cuts the fine amount, and the checkout shows the reduced total before you pay.
Why does my paid fine still appear as pending?
The record updates after the payment settles, which can take a day or more. Keep the portal receipt; it proves the payment while the label catches up.
Does SIMIT need an account to search?
No. The search is public with just a document number or plate, behind a captcha. Accounts are not part of the main driver flow.
Where do I get the paz y salvo?
The portal issues it once your record is fully clear. Download it from simit.org.co after the last payment settles, from the same area where you checked the fines.
