If you are making an online credit card or PayPal account payment, you will click on the appropriate "Buy Now" button in the next column to go to the secure PayPal page and provide the appropriate information. An email confirmation will be sent to you should you choose to pay online. We suggest online payment to expedite your application. Online payment is accepted for most major credit cards for U.S. residents, and by PayPal account for non-U.S. residents.

U.S and non-U.S. residents can also remit by check. For non-U.S. residents, the check must be in USD drawn on a bank with a U.S. correspondent bank and with the month written out. For non-U.S. residents remitting by check, it is recommended that you consider making a single payment to cover both the Application Fee and Study Guide/Written Examinations Fee to save time and a second mailing.
