Why can I pay my DMV Block with a check, eCheck or credit card?
Virginia law requires that the City receive payment of all overdue taxes, penalties, interest and fees before removing a DMV Block. Since the payor can cancel payment on checks, eChecks and credit cards, these do not constitute receipt of payment until they are processed and cash payment is received from the payor’s financial institution or credit card company. Payment for DMV Blocks must, therefore, be received in certified funds (cash, money order or cashier’s check) in order for staff to remove the block at the time of payment.
