About NextGen CM/ECF The Federal Judiciary has developed a Next Generation (NextGen) Case Management / Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system that allows e-filers to maintain one account (an individual, upgraded PACER account) for Central Sign On (CSO) across all federal courts (appellate, bankruptcy, and district) that have transitioned to NextGen CM/ECF. This means that e-filers will use their one CSO username and password to access all NextGen courts where they have permission to file, as well as to access PACER for all federal courts.
For assistance with creating a PACER account, please contact PACER at 1-800-676-6856 or visit the PACER website at https://www.pacer.gov. For assistance with your current CM/ECF login and password or linking your account after the court transitions, contact the court at 918-684-7920 (Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central Time).
NOTICE: The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma upgraded to NextGen CM/ECF electronic filing on August 9, 2019. Attorneys are required to use their individual, upgraded PACER account and password to access the electronic filing system in NextGen Courts:
- If you are NOT admitted to the Eastern District of Oklahoma, visit the Attorney Admissions page for instructions on how to begin the registration process
- If you were a registered e-filer with the court prior to August 9, 2019, to continue filing you must link your individual, upgraded PACER account to your OKED CM/ECF account. If you do not remember your CM/ECF login and password, use the instructions in the next bullet point to request e-filing privileges through PACER. The court will link your accounts for you.
- If you are admitted to the Eastern District of Oklahoma but NOT yet a registered e-filer, register for e-filer privileges in PACER
