The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan announces that effective immediately, registered attorneys may make credit and/or debit card payments over the Internet through CM/ECF via Pay.gov. Pay.gov is a secure government-wide collection portal. It was developed to help Federal Agencies meet the directives outlined in the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, primarily the reduction of paper transactions through the utilization of electronic processing via the Internet. Using Pay.gov is very simple; it can be likened to using PayPal for Internet purchases. The feature launches within a CM/ECF transaction specific to that purpose. Like e-filing of documents, paying fees can be done from your desktop in your office or from anywhere you have access to the Internet.
