Please ensure that there are sufficient funds in your Current Account at WIPO before making a payment. Transactions that would result in a negative balance are not allowed.
There are three ways in which you can use your Current Account at WIPO to submit payments to WIPO:
1. Online, through our e-payment systems
Madrid, PCT and Hague Systems have dedicated e-payment systems. To use some of our e-payment systems you must create a WIPO account. Note: this is not the same as a WIPO Current Account at WIPO.

| Madrid | Online payment (7-10 digit WIPO reference number required) Renewal Subsequent Designation |
