Court Registry Payment by Wire Transfer

Registry payments, with the exception of judgment payoffs, eminent domain deposits and bond payments, can now be made via Wire Transfer through your banking or financial institution. There is a required registry fee that must be included; use this tool to calculate the total including the registry fee. Then follow the steps below.

1. Wire Transfer Request Form (PDF) to obtain the required form.
2. Fill out the form, then take or submit it to your banking or financial institution to initiate the wire transfer (Note: there may be additional fees charged by your banking or financial institution for this process.)
3. Complete the Special Instructions field on the form if you are not a party to the case but are making payment on behalf of a case party; add the name of the case party the payment is for
4. Once you’ve completed the process with your banking or financial institution, you MUST submit the completed form to the Clerk of Courts at https://myorangeclerk.com/Misc-Pages/Contact-Us/Contact-Support-Division in order for the payment to be applied.

Your payment will be applied within 2 business days of receipt of funds. 

Judgment payoffs must be paid by cash, cashier’s check or money order after receiving a payoff total from the Clerk’s Office. 
 

Bank of America customers need to take extra care not to send an online transfer. If you are not prompted to enter the specific routing number for wires (026009593) from your wire instructions, you are most likely processing an online transfer which is not accepted. 
 

While initiating a wire transfer with your bank, ensure that you are sending a wire transfer and not an online transfer or ACH as those funds will be returned and it may take 10 to 45 days for the return to be processed.
