Maintain Your ECF Account

Last Updated: August 3, 2012

These instructions should be used to make changes to your ECF account. This includes Name, Firm, Phone Number, Street Address, and primary and secondary E-mail addresses.

A Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) will be sent to all email addresses included in your record.

Note: As of September 30, 2011, registered CM/ECF E-mail recipients will no longer receive paper notices sent by the Court. The only exception will be the 341 notice since it contains the full Social Security Number. For all other notices sent by the Court, the sole method of receiving notices will be through the CM/ECF Notice of Electronic Filing. It is critical that you maintain your account with up-to-date-information, including a valid E-mail address.
