How to Send Money to City Of Hoquiam Jail, WA (WA)

The City of Hoquiam's City Jail webpage includes a "Pay Utilities Online" link that routes you to the Certified Payments website (using BureauCode=8478983). This tells you there's an official online payments path connected to the City Jail page, but the link text alone doesn't confirm exactly what the payment will be applied to.

If you land on the Certified Payments site from that City link, you're using a portal operated by Accelerated Card Company, LLC (doing business as Certified Payments). The site also notes that Accelerated Card Company, LLC is a registered ISO of Fifth Third Bank, National Association, Cincinnati, OH. That operator name is worth keeping handy if you need support or want to double-check you're on the right payment page.

Steps

• ✓ Go to the City of Hoquiam “City Jail” webpage and find the “Pay Utilities Online” link.
• ✓ Follow that link to Certified Payments (it points to a page using BureauCode=8478983).
• ✓ On the Certified Payments site, look for the operator information so you recognize the portal (Accelerated Card Company, LLC d/b/a Certified Payments).

Before entering any payment information, confirm what this portal is actually meant to pay for. The City Jail page link is labeled "Pay Utilities Online," so you'll want to verify whether it's the correct pathway for inmate funds or if it's strictly for city utility payments. Also confirm what payment methods are accepted, whether processing fees apply, how long payments take to post, and what identifying information you'll need (for example, an account or booking number). If you need help, the payments site identifies the operator as Accelerated Card Company, LLC (d/b/a Certified Payments), which is useful to reference when reaching out.

1. Write down the portal operator name (from the payment page) so you can reference it later: Accelerated Card Company, LLC d/b/a Certified Payments.
2. Confirm the correct payment purpose with the jail before you pay, especially since the link is labeled “Pay Utilities Online.” Ask what information you must provide and how long funds take to post.
3. If you contact the payment portal for support, reference the operator (Accelerated Card Company, LLC / Certified Payments) and ask about accepted payment methods, fees, and processing time.
