An automatic fee receiving and receipt dispensing system, particularly designed for vehicle registration transactions and the like, comprises an outer housing with a customer interface for displaying information to a customer and receiving customer input and fee payment, and a dispenser assembly in the housing for storing forms specific to the transaction having pre-printed areas and blank areas for receiving information specific to a transaction, a printer for printing information in the blank areas of the forms, and a dispensing device for dispensing printed forms to customers. A control unit in the housing controls operation of the customer interface and dispenser assembly, and is linked via an interface to a remote database containing transaction and fee information, for example vehicle registration records. The control unit communicates with the database to obtain transaction information from the database and to compare the information obtained with that entered by the customer, approving the transaction if the information matches, displays fee information on verification, and dispenses the appropriate receipt form on detection of fee payment or authorization.
