the public to securely make payments on cases
and payment plans with outstanding balances in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Common
Pleas and Magisterial District courts. Payments
are accepted using Visa, MasterCard, Discover
and American Express, as well as by ATM/Debit
cards.

From Pennsylvania’s
Please review the following information:
Not all cases can be paid through PAePay . Therefore, you
may have other outstanding financial obligations with the
courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that do not
appear in PAePay.
Individual courts may restrict certain individuals or cases
from online payment. Certain types of cases will also be
restricted from online payment.
Failure to pay your amount due on any cases or payment
plan may not prevent further court action and could result
in the issuance of a warrant or suspension of your driver’s
license. When making a payment, if you cannot pay in full,
your total payment must still be satisfied by any court
mandated due date.
The processing of payments is dependent upon the
individual court to which the payment has been made.
Please submit any payments that are time-sensitive with
enough time to process the payments. Payments submitted
without sufficient processing time may not prevent further
court action.
Only Traffic, Non-Traffic, Summary, Summary Appeal and
Criminal cases can be paid through PAePay. If you choose
to plead not guilty to a traffic citation, you must attend a
hearing and you will not be able to use PAePay until the
case is fully disposed.
Any questions regarding your cases, payment
obligations, and due dates should be directed to the
court where the case was filed.
