A minimum fee of $1 is required to make an electronic payment.

  2. Copies and/or Certified Copies of Official Court Documents. Contact the Clerk's Office to verify the fee amount owed for your request.

However, the U.S Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, allows electronic payments only for the services listed above. Do not use this form for your Chapter 13 plan payments to the trustee, court ordered fees, or Chapter 11 quarterly fees to the trustee.


WARNING: A $53 fee applies for any payment returned or denied for insufficient funds, or reversed due to a chargeback (see Court website for filing fee updates).
