NextGen CM/ECF

NextGen simplifies electronic filing by having one central sign-on to search and file for all courts using NextGen CM/ECF (with granted e-filing privileges).  By combining your CM/ECF and PACER accounts into one account, the login process allows e-filing attorneys and limited non-attorneys users to use one PACER login and password to access any NextGen Court (appellate, bankruptcy, and district) in which they practice from one central location.  The same account will also provide access to all federal court cases and records that are available through PACER′s Case Search function.

 

What To Do, Now (Prior to October 29, 2021) and On or After November 1, 2021
Preparation for NextGen can begin now for all e-filers.

  • All users and electronic filers MUST obtain their own PACER account.  If you do not have your own individual PACER account, you must obtain one to access CM/ECF after OKWB transitions to NextGen.  Your CM/ECF account is not a PACER account.  To register for a PACER account, go to https://pacer.uscourts.gov/register-account.   
  • Shared PACER accounts cannot be used in NextGen.
  • If your CM/ECF login information is currently stored in a browser, it will not be recoverable when the Court transitions to NextGen.  If you do not know your current CM/ECF password, log on to CM/ECF now and use the Change Your Password option found in the Utilities menu to create a new CM/ECF password.  Passwords should be recovered or changed prior to October 29, 2021.
  • For more information on Registering for a PACER account: Register For a PACER Account.
