Notes:

• Caller Service customers can only pay in person or by mail—but not online or at a self-service kiosk. Caller Service receipts will be provided at the caller service pickup window.
• If we have not received your payment by the 10th day after the due date, your PO Box service will be terminated and all incoming mail will be returned to senders.

To avoid this inconvenience and this extra cost, we encourage you to renew on time.
