Important Information

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 could result in the issuance of a warrant, suspension of

your driver’s license, or other court actions. 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.

* For your protection, credit/debit card information is

not saved when processing an online payment

through the PAePay system.
