2026 Registration Notes

Payments

We encourage you to pay your registration fee by electronic check (e-check), which we introduced during last year’s registration. If you pay by e-check, funds are withdrawn directly from your bank account, and there are no transaction fees. E-checks have become a more common payment feature in recent years, including in Arlington County’s CAPP portal, so many of you may already be familiar with how e-checks work. Instructions on how to pay by e-check will be provided when you login to register.

You may also use a debit or credit card to pay your fee. As explained last year, we want to continue to offer the convenience of paying by debit/credit card; however, to better utilize funds for improvements, we are passing the transaction fee on to those who choose to use a card for these payments. This fee is paid directly to the card processor; DRRA does not make any money from this fee.

As DRRA moves toward a digitized registration system, we encourage you to avoid paying by paper check, which is labor intensive for us to process. To reduce costs and better utilize funds for improvements, a $10 processing fee will be added to payments made by paper check.
