                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PAYMENTS BY PAYMENT DEVICES (§ 46.2-212.1)

The Commissioner may authorize the acceptance of payment devices in lieu of
money for payment of any fees, fines, penalties, and taxes collected by the
Department of Motor Vehicles or agents acting on behalf of the Department. The
Department may add to such payment an amount of no more than four percent of the
payment as a service charge for the acceptance of a payment device.
		The Commissioner may authorize a Department transaction receipt to be used
with existing Department documents as evidence that the holder has complied with
Department payment requirements, provided that the transaction is completed
before the document&#8217;s expiration date. However, a transaction receipt for
expired vehicle registrations that are renewed online within 90 days of
expiration with the payment of all required fees may serve as evidence that the
holder has complied with Department payment requirements. Any such transaction
receipt shall include detailed information as to length of time by which the
document&#8217;s period of validity will be extended and how the transaction
receipt is to be verified.
