A user cannot add an account to your PAA. The PAA Administrator must send an invite to the user and they must accept the invite. As the PAA Administrator, you can unlink users from the account at any time, and the individual user can also unlink from the PAA at any time.

To add a PACER account, you would need to select from the four options:

• Add Existing PACER Accounts to My PAA
• Remove PACER Account from My PAA
• Rescind My Pending Request
• Download List of All My PACER Accounts

After selecting “add existing pacer accounts to MY PAA,” this will send an invite to the PACER user. The user must accept the invite in order to be added to the PAA account.

Yes. Any balance (including credit) will be transferred to the linked PACER Administrative Account.

Yes. The firm will receive several bills. The firm can create a PACER Administrative Account (PAA) for central billing for all attorneys.

On our website under PACER: NextGen: Central Sign-On Link there is a section on how to register for a PACER Administrative Account.

One person in the firm should be appointed the PAA Administrator and would complete the registration on the PACER website.

Once that account is created, (for administrative purposes ONLY), the PAA Administrator can:

•  Add users to the account, which will send an invitation to that user asking them to accept being a part of the PAA account.
• Upon accepting the invite, the PAA Administrator will receive one bill itemized for each attorney.

Additional information can be obtained from the PAA User Manual.

Yes. An email will be sent to both the user and the administrator when an account is unlinked from the PAA account.

If an attorney leaves the firm, the PAA Administrator will need to remove the attorney from the PAA PACER account immediately.

This will avoid charges of any new related PACER fees from the departed attorney. Instructions are provided in the PAA User Manual.

If the attorney’s account is under your PACER Administrative Account, you can unlink the account so that you are no longer responsible for their PACER charges after the attorney leaves the firm.

The attorney is responsible for updating his/her PACER profile in Manage My Account to change their credit card billing information.

Changing a password, updating contact information, setting security information, or changing account preferences are not possible without upgrading the PACER account.

Additionally, without upgrading the PACER Administrative Account, it is not possible to perform the following management functions: adding or unlinking an account, viewing a list of accounts, and assigning cost center information.
