What's the latest on this $50 fee? I know someone from PA who is about to apply...

His instructions also say the $19.25 must be money order or cashiers check....personal check isnt good enough?

Ignoring the instructions sheet and looking only at the DPS-799-C form itself, the $19.25 fee is to be made payable to DPS.

Connecticut state law says cash, check, draft or money order must all be accepted for the payment of licensing fees. Personal check is fine.

Sec. 1-1j. Methods of payment of license fees. Each state agency, as defined in section 4-166, shall accept payment in cash or by check, draft or money order for any license issued by such agency pursuant to the provisions of the general statutes. Except as otherwise provided by the general statutes, the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management may authorize any state agency (1) to allow an applicant for a license to pay the license fee by means of a credit card, charge card or debit card, and (2) to charge such applicant a service fee for any such payment made by credit card, charge card or debit card. Such service fee shall be (A) related to the cost of service, (B) uniform for all credit cards, charge cards and debit cards accepted, and (C) applied only when allowed by the operating rules and regulations of the credit card, charge card or debit card issuer or processor involved or when authorized in writing by such issuer or processor. Payments by credit card, charge card or debit card shall be made at such times and under such conditions as the secretary may prescribe in regulations adopted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54. Payment of a license fee by credit card, charge card or debit card shall constitute full payment of such fee, regardless of any discount applied by a credit card company.
