Cardholder Data
Collect the cardholder's full name exactly as printed on the card, card number, and card type so the payment processor can validate and route the transaction.
A clear, accurate G-1450 prevents payment rejection or processing delays and documents the cardholder's consent to the exact charge. Using an e-signature-enabled workflow preserves a verifiable audit trail consistent with ESIGN and UETA requirements.
The G-1450 is completed by the cardholder authorizing payment; it may be signed by applicants, attorneys, or third-party payers when permitted.
Organizations handling multiple filings often centralize payment capture and recordkeeping to ensure consistent authorization language and retention.
Collect the cardholder's full name exactly as printed on the card, card number, and card type so the payment processor can validate and route the transaction.
Include the card expiration month and year and, if available, the card verification value (CVV) per processor rules; missing expiration data commonly causes declines.
State the precise dollar amount authorized and describe the associated filing or petition so the payer knows the purpose of the charge.
Provide billing address, city, state, and ZIP code; mismatches between billing address and card issuer records can trigger declines or fraud flags.
Use explicit language authorizing the receiving agency to charge the card for the stated amount; ambiguous wording increases dispute risk.
Require the cardholder's handwritten or electronic signature and the authorization date to document consent and support retention requirements.
