Some FAQ about accounts:
Q: How long does it take to get my account?
A: Once you meet the above 3 conditions, your account should be emailed to you by the next business day before 5:00 PM EST. If you need your account right away to file a document, call us toll free at 1-866-784-6273 (9am - 5 pm EST) and we will try to expedite the process.
Q: Can I use my CM/ECF account from another court?
A: No, each court maintains its own CM/ECF system and procedures. You need to obtain a CM/ECF account for each court with which you will electronically file.
Q: I have an account but I forgot my password. What do I do?
A: Call us toll free at 1-866-784-6273 (9am - 5pm EST) and we will email you a new password right away. We will only send passwords to the primary address on the account and we will never give out passwords over the phone.
* Please note that you need to obtain a PACER account for viewing reports and documents. A CM/ECF account will only allow you to file. The court does not manage PACER accounts. You must contact PACER directly at this link: PACER Service Center
