Court Fees Can Be Paid Online In Maine
Mainers who have an outstanding fine or fee due in any of the state’s courts can now conveniently pay online.
Outstanding fine amounts are updated online every Tuesday morning and can be searched by name and date of birth or court docket number. Those that use the new service will be charged a premium service fee of $6.
When paying an outstanding fine or fee online, you will need:
- Your name and date of birth or court docket number
- A valid credit card (Discover, Visa or MasterCard)
It is important to note that the online service may take up to two business days for the transaction to be processed by the state. During this grace period any outstanding warrants and/or license suspensions will remain in effect.
Also, payments made through this service do not cover attorney fees or restitution. Once a fine has been paid in full, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles must be contacted and paid reinstatement fees.
A confirmation of payment will be sent via email and serve as a proof of payment. It is advised to print this email and save it in your records as the court will not send a receipt.
