Transfer funds electronically through the Internet using PayPal.com. This free service, provided by a company independent of Nova Roma, allows anyone with an email account and a credit card to send or receive money instantly. Even if you've never used PayPal before, the signup process takes only a few minutes. Be sure to put your Roman Name in the "Special Instructions" field so that you can receive proper credit for having paid! If you are paying for someone else, list their name instead; if you are paying for multiple citizens at the same time, list all their names. |
If you'd like to make payments on behalf of another citizen in addition to your own, just add $18 for each additional citizen, and place their names in the "Special Instructions" field in addition to your own.
If you have any questions please contact the Consuls' Quaestores at payments@novaroma.org
We strongly prefer that you use the PayPal.com service. It is secure, convenient, quick, handles international currency conversions automatically, and can be tracked using tools on their site to ensure that no payment is lost.
However, if you cannot use PayPal, you can pay through the mail. Citizens residing in the United States can pay by cash, check, or money order. Citizens in other countries must obtain a money order denominated in US dollars, which can be obtained from a local bank.

You will receive email confirmation when your payment is processed. To check that your citizen status has been updated, go to your personal Album Civium page, and look for a note that reads "Assidui 2003". If it instead reads "Assidui 2002" or "Capite Censi", that means your status has not yet been updated. If you don't see Assidui 2003 within a few days, contact the Quaestores.
