Payment of court fees (including filing fees and installment payments, copies, recordings of hearings, etc.) may be paid online via debit card, PayPal, or ACH (electronic payment from a bank account).

The online payment program cannot be used for Chapter 13 plan payments to be paid to the trustees.

Registered CM/ECF users must continue to submit payment of court filing fees directly in CM/ECF when filing a document with the Court. The online payment program is for payment of fees that, until now, have been paid by mail, drop box, or at the intake counter. Registered CM/ECF users may use the online payment program to pay these fees.

More information regarding filing fees can be found here. Please contact the Clerk’s Office with any questions regarding the amount of fees due, including fees associated with copy requests. Detroit: (313) 234-0065; Flint: (810) 235-4126; Bay City: (989) 894-8840.

Please review this training document for step-by-step instructions on how to use this free online payment program.
