[Classweb-announce] CDS no longer accepting paper checks or money orders for subscription services

[Hayward, Patricia]

As per our August announcement, effective October 1, 2024, Cataloging Distribution Services (CDS) is no longer accepting paper checks or money orders as payment forms for subscription services. This change is intended to better serve you. Like many federal agencies, we are now using Pay.gov to process your payments.

Pay.gov is free, secure, and records and processes your payments quickly. This enables us to recognize your payment much more quickly, so that we process and get your service started in just a few days.
Here are payment types accepted in Pay.gov:
* Credit cards, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover
* Personal and Business Bank Accounts - savings, checking, general ledger
* Digital Wallet - Amazon, PayPal
* ACH Credit - businesses only, if approved

Paying via Pay.gov is easy. To learn more about how to submit your payment via Pay.gov please refer to our https://loc.gov/cds/classweb/CWorder_files/CWOrderForm_Instructions_704.pdf or simply go to:

https:www.pay.gov/public/form/start/13480673434

for faster access to the payment portal.

In case you missed our announcement earlier this year, there is a short grace period where we will still process mailed payments postmarked on or before October 31, 2024.

Please be advised that any mailed payments postmarked on or after November 1, 2024, will automatically be returned to the sender and not processed. Should this occur, we will attempt to contact you and will be happy to support you through this transition.

We're committed in providing fast and efficient service and Pay.gov supports that goal. Should you have questions, please contact us at 1-855-266-1884, 202-707-6100, or cdsinfo at loc.gov.
