PACER - Case Search Only Registration

In order to obtain a PACER login and password, complete the on-line PACER Registration Form. If you provide a credit card at the time of registration, you will receive an email with instructions on how to retrieve your new login and password. If you do not provide a credit card, the login and password will be sent by U.S. mail to the address provided on the registration form. Please allow 7-10 days for mail delivery. For an expedited registration, provide a credit card during registration. For security reasons, logins and passwords can not be emailed, faxed, or given over the phone.

There is no registration fee. For your information, the Judicial Conference of the United States has established a fee to be collected for access to PACER. All registered agencies or individuals will be charged a user fee. Access to PACER systems will generate an $.08 per page chargeinfo.

If you experience problems with the on-line registration form or are registering from outside the United States, download the Fax Version of the registration form, and follow the instructions on the form.
