Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register in order to file electronically?

Yes. In order to file electronically, you must first register. Upon receipt of the registration forms, you may be contacted by the Clerk’s office to schedule additional training. Upon completion of training, a live login and password will be issued that will allow you to access the system to file documents electronically. In addition, you will need a PACER account to retrieve/view information from the system. A PACER account may be obtained at the PACER website.
