QC gov't establishes online payment system for traffic, ordinance fines

The Quezon City government established an online system for the payment of Ordinance Violation Receipts (OVRs), making it easier for traffic and ordinance violators to settle their fines.

“Mas madali at mabilis nang magbayad ng multa ngayon sa tulong ng ating online payment system na makikita sa official website ng ating siyudad,” said QC Mayor Joy Belmonte in a Saturday statement.

(It is now easier and faster to pay fines with the help of our online payment system that you can find in the city's official website.)

Belmonte added that the online payment system was part of the city government’s effort to automate all business transactions and processes in Quezon City.

“Ngayon, wala nang pwedeng idahilan ang mga violator na hindi sila makapagbayad ng multa dahil wala silang panahong magpunta ng personal sa City Hall,” she added.

(Violators can no longer say that they do not have the time to go to city hall to pay their fines.)

Violators would need to visit the e-services portion (https://qceservices.quezoncity.gov.ph) of the QC government's official website and register to create an account.

After registration, they may click the “OVR Online Payment” icon in the QC E-Services and enter the OVR Ticket No. and Last Name. After accepting the End User Agreement, the violator may click search.

Violators have the option to pay online via Gcash, PayMaya, or PayGate, or over the counter via Landbank fund transfer. They also have the option to pay manually at the QC OVR Redemption Center or any Landbank branch of their choice by presenting the Order of Payment.

Once the manual payment is complete, they may send the photo of the order of payment and validated deposit slip to misctaxpayment.cto@quezoncity.gov.ph to have their transaction recorded and marked as paid.

Traffic violators may claim their Official Receipt at the Traffic and Transport Management Office-QC OVR Redemption Center following the City Treasurer’s Office email of the photo of the official receipt. The process may take two to three working days or more, depending on the volume of online applications.

For city ordinance violators, they may get the Official Receipt (OR) at the Department of Public Order and Safety (DPOS) Office-Information/Receiving Counter after the City Treasurer's Office (CTO) has emailed the photo of the official receipt. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
