The Bill by Mail program is an alternative payment option for customers who choose not to open an NC Quick Pass account.

Customers receive an invoice mailed to the address the vehicle is registered to through their state’s DMV.

If you do not pay in full by the due date, the unpaid toll transactions will be subject to processing fees and civil penalties on following invoices and may be sent to collections.

Failure to pay tolls, processing fees and civil penalties is grounds for a vehicle registration hold through the DMV. The registration hold will not be released until the balance is paid in full.

Drivers who do not wish to open an account will pay through the post-paid Bill by Mail program once they receive their invoice.

You can pay by:

  • Paying online.
  • Calling the customer service center.
  • Paying in person at a customer service center.
  • Mailing a check or money order. Please do not mail cash.

Frequent Bill by Mail customers do not have to wait to receive the invoice to pay online. 

Visit the Contact Us page for details on how to reach us. Please note that depending on the due date of your invoice, you may be subject to additional fees.

If your vehicle traveled on any North Carolina toll facility, you as the registered owner of the vehicle will receive an invoice in the mail. If you do not believe it is your license plate number on the Bill by Mail invoice, you may dispute the toll. 

If you have a NC Quick Pass account, you may receive an invoice if you traveled in the I-77 Express and did not meet the HOV requirements.

You could receive an invoice if your transponder is not detected on the toll facility and the license plate is not listed on the NC Quick Pass account. Transponders typically are not detected because they are installed improperly. Visit our installation instructions to make sure your transponder is installed correctly.

You could also receive an invoice if your transponder was deactivated due to a zero or negative balance. If your account has insufficient funds, NC Quick Pass automatically suspends your account, deactivates your transponder, and notifies you by mail or email. To reinstate your account, you must pay all outstanding toll charges, processing fees and civil penalties (if applicable). You must also refill the required prepaid account balance.
