Filing Fees and Online Payment Form

The payment of certain filing fees may be paid online via debit card, bank account (ACH), or PayPal. If the ACH option is used, please pay close attention to your account information. If we receive a returned item, you will be charged a $53.00 returned item fee. We highly encourage the use of debit cards for the online payment form. Credit cards are not permitted under this payment option. Please see our Pay.gov online payment instructions here.

The Online Payment Form cannot be used for payments generated in CM/ECF. The Form can only be used to pay for filing fees that, until now, have been paid by mail, or at the intake counter.

Please contact the clerk’s office at (202) 354-3150 to verify the fee amount before the payment is made. Please have your case number ready.

The Online Payment Form requires the following information in order to complete the payment. Please have the information ready to ensure your payment is processed accordingly:

• Case Number
• Payer′s first and last name
• Payer′s Address
• Payer's Phone number
• Payer's Email Address
• Fee type and fee amount

NOTE: This payment option is NOT to be used for Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 plan payments.
