Methods of Payment
Credit Card
The court accepts American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and any debit card bearing one of those logos. Most fines and costs may be paid by credit card by calling the court during regular business hours at (517) 483-4434 or (517) 483-4435. You must be able to provide the following information when you call:
- Defendant's name
- Date of birth
- Ticket/Case Number
- Charge/Offense
The court will not accept credit card payments over the phone to post bail bond payments for someone in custody.
Cash
Do not send cash through the U.S. All cash payments must be submitted in person.
Checks
The court will accept personal and business checks but cannot accept 3rd party or starter checks. Additionally, the court will not accept checks as payment for bonds or restitution. If paying in person with a personal check, you will be asked to provide your drivers license number and date of birth because the 54A District Court uses Electronic Check which converts your personal check into an electronic transaction at the time of your payment.
**The Court will soon be accepting online payments through its website.
