Electronic Voucher Processing System
The Alexandria Clerk of the Circuit Court is requiring use of the new Electronic Voucher Payment System (EVPS) located here. Currently, the EVPS is available for use by court appointed attorneys who may be providing legal services to defendants charged with an original Virginia State code site. This system automates and replaces the paper process of using a DC-40 List of Allowance form when requesting payment for these legal services. If appointed to represent a defendant charged with a local City of Alexandria charge, it will still be necessary to submit a DC-40 List of Allowance in the customary fashion. For the Virginia State charges, this new electronic system speeds up the review and approval process and quickly transmits information to the Office of the Executive Secretary, Supreme Court of Virginia. An online tutorial, and other helpful instructions and information is currently available within the VACourts page. Additional support may be obtained by emailing EVPSsupport@vacourts.gov, or calling 804-786-7888.
Notice to DC-40 Vendors
The Electronic Voucher Payment System (EVPS) now allows all vendors who submit a DC-40 to create an account and submit vouchers electronically for payment.
Getting Started
Step 1: Are you an OES Vendor?
If you currently submit paper DC-40 forms, you are already an OES vendor.

Step 2: Obtain an OES Identification Number (OES ID#)
A OES ID # is needed to access the system for the first time.
