Effective November 1, 2003, electronically filed documents requiring a filing fee will be paid using an accepted credit/debit card (shown below) via the Internet as part of the filing process.  Click here for more information.
The Court now accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover or Diners Club for payment of court fees and services.  One of the following methods can be used to complete a credit/debit card transaction:
Individual Authorization
A card holder, other than a debtor in a pending bankruptcy proceeding,* can charge court fees or costs by presenting their card at the Clerk's Office.
Blanket Authorization Form
A card holder can submit a blanket authorization to the Clerk's Office, which will permit any employee of the firm/company to use the credit/debit card for payment of court fees and services.
One Time Authorization Form
This method is normally used when the card holder is located outside the immediate area.  A card holder who submits the one time authorization form to the Clerk's Office will be permitted to charge court fees and services.
* Credit transactions by a debtor in a pending bankruptcy proceeding will only be accepted if a debit   card is presented.
 
  Further questions about credit card payments should be addressed to Wayne A. Bannert at 618-482-9429.
