Driver Responsibility Fees must be paid to the Michigan Department of Treasury within 30 days of your notice unless you have entered into a qualifying Installment Agreement.

Payments may be made towards the Driver Responsibility Fee, however, it must be paid in full within the 30-day time limit or it will result in the suspension of the driver's license and Treasury may take collection enforcement action such as placing a levy on wages or bank accounts. Drivers who fail to pay this fee within the prescribed time and whose driver's license is suspended will not be able to get their driver's license reinstated until they have paid this fee in full to the Department of Treasury. In addition, a $125 driver's license reinstatement fee must also be paid to the Secretary of State.

Driver Responsibility fee payments cannot be accepted by the courts or at Secretary of State branch offices.

If you would like to make payment for another person (including minors and spouses) please make payment with a check or money order following the "Making Your Payment" instructions given below. Individuals calling on behalf of another party (including minors and spouses) by law will not be provided with information or be permitted to make payment arrangements unless a Power of Attorney (Form 151) is on file with the Michigan Department of Treasury.

Credit Card and Debit Card payments: The Michigan Department of Treasury does not accept payment by credit or debit card.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments: EFT is an electronic payment method that you may use to pay your Driver Responsibility Fee. Instead of writing a check for the amount due you instruct your financial institution to transfer the funds from your account to ours by completing the EFT form provided on this Web site. We then apply the transferred amount to your liability. EFT is a safe and efficient process for making your payment. All transactions are governed by strict, nationally established rules, regulations and security procedures and occur between financial institutions only at your request.
