Wallet and Payments
The Wallet page lets you manage your e-filing account balance, add funds, and review your payment history.
Account Balance
At the top of the page, four summary cards show:
Available Balance -- Your current wallet balance available for filing fees.
Total Added -- The lifetime total of funds you have deposited.
Total Spent -- The lifetime total of filing fees paid from your wallet.
Adding Funds
Click the Add Funds button on the balance card.
A dialog opens where you choose the amount:
Select a quick amount ($50, $100, $250, or $500).
Or enter a custom dollar amount.
Select a payment method from your saved cards. If you have no cards on file, a link directs you to your Profile page to add one.
Click Add to process the deposit. A confirmation appears when the funds are added.
Fee Calculation
Filing fees are calculated automatically during the filing wizard based on:
Court -- Each court sets its own fee schedule.
Case type -- Different case types have different base fees.
Document types -- Some document types carry per-document or per-page fees.
Fee types include:
Flat fees -- A fixed amount for the filing.
Per-page fees -- Charged based on the number of pages in a document.
Graduated fees -- Fees that vary based on thresholds.
The fee breakdown is shown in the Fees step of the filing wizard before you submit.
Fee Waivers
If you cannot afford the filing fees, you can request a fee waiver during the filing process:
In the Fees step of the wizard, check the Request fee waiver checkbox.
The waiver request is submitted along with your filing.
The clerk reviews the waiver request and either approves or denies it.
You will receive a notification with the decision.
If the waiver is approved, no fees are charged. If denied, you may need to arrange payment.
Transaction History
The Recent Transactions section shows a chronological list of all wallet activity:
Debits -- Filing fee payments, shown with a red arrow and the filing reference number.
Credits -- Fund deposits and fee waiver refunds, shown with a green arrow.
Each transaction includes a date, description, reference number, amount, and status.
Payment Methods
Payment methods (credit/debit cards) are managed on your Profile page. From the Wallet, you can navigate there via the "Manage cards in Profile" link.
Payment processing is not yet fully enabled. Fees are calculated and displayed for reference, but no actual charges are collected at this time.
