Electronic Payment Receipt Delay

Starting May 24, 2024, some electronic payment receipts have not been immediately visible in Patent Center after completion. Customers are advised to check Patent Center’s Documents & Transactions tab after 1 hour to see if the electronic payment receipt appears.

If you are still unable to see the payment receipt, please contact the Patent Electronic Business Center (EBC) at (866)217-9197 during their operating hours of 6 a.m., to midnight, Monday - Friday ET, or email ebc@uspto.gov.
