The Daily Record
As part of the new eCourts initiative, the North Carolina Court System has launched two online services that N.C. citizens will find easy-to-use and convenient, while at the same time being more efficient for the state.
Through the Online Collections and Payments (OCAP) system, citizens can now pay probationrelated costs, fines and fees online using their credit / debit card. Online payments are available 24/7 at onlineservices.NCcourts.org for supervised and unsupervised probationers with their case file number, the county that issued the charge, and a major credit card.
The online payments system provides immediate benefits to citizens, as well as to court officials and staff. While it provides a more convenient payment option for citizens, the system also means less paperwork, less traffic in the courthouse and shorter lines at the cashier window. Prior to OCAP, citizens had to pay costs, fines, and fees at the courthouse or by mail.
If you have recently received a traffic ticket for a driver’s license, registration or inspection violation, and have complied with the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the Electronic Compliance and Dismissal (ECAD) service will allow you to request a dismissal online quickly and easily, at no cost.
The new system will check N.C. DMV records and let you know if your citation is eligible and will then notify you via email when your request is successfully submitted. The District Attorney’s office will rule on your request electronically and ECAD will notify you via email whether your request has been accepted and whether you still need to appear in court.
