  1. In the Checkout pane, confirm the fees listed are correct.

You can request that the fees associated with your case be waived. The court you're filing in must permit fee waivers, and it will determine which waiver options are available.

 

If you identified a default payment account, that account is listed first in the Available Payment Accounts section and is auto-selected. See Specify a Default Payment Account.

  1. Select the appropriate Payment Account. If no payment accounts are listed, click the Add Payment Account button. Learn how to add a new payment account.

You don't have to select a payment account if the Total is $0.

Depending on court configuration, a payment account can be a credit card, escrow account, or Inter Agency Transfer account. Escrow and Inter Agency Transfer accounts must be authorized by the court. Refer to the Glossary for more information on these account types.

If you select an Inter Agency Transfer account, the court must be configured to support that payment type. If it's not, an error dialog is displayed after you click the Submit button on the Checkout dialog. Click OK to close the dialog. You'll be returned to the Upload page.

 

Expired payment accounts are identified as such on the Checkout dialog and cannot be selected for payment.
