Use of this service is subject to the Terms of Service listed below.

Terms of Service

By using this service, you confirm that you understand and agree to the following terms of service:

  • Submitting your request to renew your vehicle registrations is not the same as registering your vehicle. Online submissions do not constitute a contract or requirement for the Town to comply with those requests. Until you receive your official registration form and decals, your vehicle is not considered registered. Unpaid parking tickets, missing or incorrect information, data transmission problems, and other causes may delay or prevent the processing of your registrations.
  • A service (convenience) fee will be charged to cover the costs of processing online payments. You will have the opportunity to view the service fee prior to confirming your payment. For electronic check (ACH/EFT) transactions the service fee is $0.95.
  • In the event of any problems or questions, we will attempt to contact you, but the Town is not liable if, for any reason, we are unable to do so or if you do not respond to such communications. It is your responsibility to contact us if you have not received your registrations within 10 days of your online submission, and to comply with State of NH Laws regarding the registering and operation of your vehicles.

General Information for Online Payments and Paperless Billing

What are some of the benefits of receiving my bill electronically?

It is convenient, saves time, reduces errors, bills don’t get misplaced, allows you to receive bills anywhere at any time and it helps the environment by saving trees. If you elect to go paperless, you can always print out a copy of the invoice if needed.

What are the benefits of paying a bill online?

Paying online with an electronic check saves time, gives you the flexibility to pay how and when desired, saves money (no more stamps, paper checks or envelopes) and Invoice Cloud will store your information for future use – but only if you choose to store it.

What is Invoice Cloud?

Invoice Cloud is a web-based, electronic invoice presentment and payment company that we have partnered with to provide faster, more convenient billing services to our customers. By automating billing and collections, customers can click and pay online while helping the environment and reducing clutter in their home or workspace.

What is the relationship between the Town of Barrington and Invoice Cloud?

The Town of Barrington wanted to make paying bills easier for their customers and offer an electronic billing option to our customers. Invoice Cloud was chosen as a service provider for these services. All billing and payment data is kept confidential, secure, and will not be sold or used for any purpose other than to complete transactions.


Using the System

How does the system work?

It is very simple. Here are the 3 steps taken by customers:

  • Customer receives email notification or accesses account via the Town's website and clicks on the “Pay On-Line” button.
  • Customer enters payment information for a payment and/or registers to sign up for paperless billing
  • Customer receives an email confirmation with their payment amount and payment process date.
Can I use an Apple /Mac to use the service?

Yes, many customers use a Mac, but you must use either Firefox or Internet Explorer (IE) to access the online bill pay service. Safari and Chrome browsers are not currently supported. Customers attempting to use those browsers have experienced issues using the service.

**Important Note** What does 'Register' mean on Invoice Cloud?

On the Invoice Cloud site, 'register' means to sign up on their site in order to go paperless, save payment information, and even add other Town of Barrington bill (Dog licensing) for managing your Town-issued bills and invoices. Registration is not required for one time payments. Register on the Invoice Cloud site does not mean to "register your vehicle", but once your payment has been submitted your vehicle registration will be processed by the Town within the next couple of business days.

Do I need to register to pay a bill?

You need to register to receive electronic bills through email but registration is not required for one time payments. One time payments require that you enter your payment information each time you make a payment. By registering your payment methods, you avoid that step and gain access to your payment history.

Why should I register to pay a bill?

By registering, you have access to all of your invoices regardless of type and all of the features of the payment portal. These include the ability to view all current invoices at same time, see previous invoices and payment dates, update your profile information, go paperless (if bill type allows). You also avoid having to enter your payment information each time you pay a bill.

How Do I Register?

Registering is easy and can be done when you make your first payment. There are two ways you can make a payment.

When you receive an email notification that your bill is ready to be paid, simply click on the “View Invoice or Pay Now” button. You will be directed to your biller’s “Pay and/or View Bills Online” site, powered by Invoice Cloud. Once there, you will be given the opportunity to register or make a one-time payment. If you choose to register, you be asked to provide a password and accept the terms and conditions to use the system.

I forgot my Password, how do I find it?

You should click on “Forgotten Password?” at the bottom of the login screen. You will need your account number and email address to retrieve your password. If you’re unable to locate this information, you may call the biller and after verifying your identity, the biller can provide you with the information.

Can more than one person pay bills online for the same account?

There are two ways that payment responsibilities can be shared. If the other payer is part of your household, you may choose to share your login information with that individual. In a situation where personal financial data is not shared, you may forward your email notification to the individual, who will then click on the “View or Pay Now” button and elect to make an express pay payment. They will need to enter their name, email address, address and payment information. They will receive the payment confirmation. You can verify their payment by viewing the invoices in your account.

What form of payment can I use?

You can currently pay by an electronic check from your bank account (checking account or savings account).

What is a service or convenience fee?

This fee is charged by Invoice Cloud and is a non-refundable fee added to cover various administrative costs associated with billing and accepting payment. The Town of Barrington does not receive any portion of the service (convenience) fee.

If I don’t have email can I still process an electronic payment?

To complete the online payment process yourself, you will need an email address so that the system can deliver your payment confirmation. If you do not have an email address, you can obtain a free email account from any of the following services: yahoo.com, hotmail.com, or gmail.com.

What are the costs for paying online?

While there are no signup costs or subscription fees, each payment does incur a service (convenience) fee. You will be informed of this fee prior to finalizing your payment. There are also fees imposed by Invoice Cloud for returned payments, and your bank may charge you a fee based on the bank's fee schedule.

How will I know that my payment has been accepted?

After you submit your payment, you will see a payment confirmation screen. It will contain your payment confirmation message. It will show a processed number for electronic check. You will also receive a confirmation email after your transaction is submitted. The email will include your account number, invoice number, amount paid, and confirmation message.

Can I use more than one payment method per transaction?

No, we do not accept partial payments for vehicle registration renewals.

When paying by electronic check (ACH transfer), how does my payment appear on my bank statement?

There will be one entry on your bank statement for the bill amount.

How long does it take for an EFT (electronic funds transfer) transaction to process if I pay online?

EFT transactions typically take 48 – 72 hours to settle.

Do I need to notify my bank or change bank accounts?

No, your current bank account (checking or savings) will work fine. So many payments are made electronically now that banks are already prepared for online payments.

What information do I need to make a payment?

The only information you need to have available to complete a one-time payment transaction is your vehicle renewal notice or your vehicle registration, your email address, and your bank account or credit card information.

Will I have online access to my account?

Registered users will have 24/7 access to their Invoice Cloud account for invoice review and payment, payment history and customer service requests.

How long will my payment history be maintained?

18 months is the standard retention period.

Will I be able to print a copy of my notice?

Yes, each invoice is presented in PDF and HTML format. Electronic storage is recommended because it saves paper and has a beneficial impact on our environment.

How do I change my account information?

If you are a registered user, simply log into your account and change any of your personal information under My Profile.
