You can pay Virginia tolls, missed tolls, and violation invoices online at TollRoadsInVirginia.com, the central portal for several VDOT‑managed roads and bridges.
1. Pay an Invoice or Violation Notice
Use this if you already received a mailed invoice/notice.
- Go to “Pay an Invoice/Notice”: https://www.tollroadsinvirginia.com/ViolationToll/PayViolation
- This form covers:
- Enter:
- Invoice/Notice Number
- License Plate Number (and other requested fields).
- Submit payment by credit/debit card or bank (as enabled).
Payments are processed by VDOT and will appear on your statement as “VATOLL PAYMENT WEB.”
2. Pay a Missed Toll (Within 6 Days)
If you drove without paying but have not yet received a notice, you can often pay at a lower cost.
- Use the “Pay a Missed Toll” / Find Facility flow from TollRoadsInVirginia.com (VDOT’s missed‑a‑toll process).
- Select the road you used (e.g., Dulles Toll Road).
- Enter your plate number, trip date/time, and any requested info.
VDOT and tools like TollGuru note that you generally have up to 6 days from the trip to pay a missed toll online and avoid a violation notice.
If more than 6 days have passed, you’ll usually need to wait for the mailed notice or call the customer service number listed (for Dulles Toll Road: 1‑888‑860‑9361).
3. E‑ZPass and Other Payment Channels
- Preferred method: E‑ZPass Virginia (or any compatible E‑ZPass) is still the cheapest and easiest way to pay; missed‑toll “Pay by Plate” rates are higher than E‑Pass rates.
- For violation notices, you may also pay through EZPassVA.com or by phone/mail per the instructions on your letter.
If you miss the online window and don’t pay the invoice, a service fee (e.g., $12.50 on second notices) can be added on some roads like the Dulles Toll Road.
4. Scam Text Warnings (Very Important)
Virginia agencies report a surge in toll scam texts:
- The Virginia DMV and VDOT warn that toll bills are not sent by text message and say not to click links or give payment info by text.
- Scam texts falsely claim you owe unpaid tolls and link to fake payment pages.
To stay safe:
- Only pay at TollRoadsInVirginia.com, EZPassVA.com, or the EZPass/VDOT numbers printed on your bill.
- If you get a suspicious text, contact customer service using numbers from official sites, not the text, and then report/delete the text.
