The Department of Revenue cannot accept in-person credit card payments for victim restitution payments. Credit card payments over the Internet or the toll free interactive voice response system are permitted as the party making payment pays the convenience fees associated with the transaction separately from their credit card payment. The convenience fee will be calculated and displayed for your approval prior to your authorizing payment.

Our INTERNET payment link follows the information for Civil Assessment Payments. It is important that our clients carefully determine their method of payment on civil assessment accounts carefully as payment using a checking or savings account (ACH) will delay the release of their driver’s license hold for 30 days by DMV.
