PACER and CM/ECF accounts will remain separate until a court implements the NextGen CM/ECF system. Once, a court implements NextGen CM/ECF, there is no need for separate accounts.

All the appellate courts have implemented NextGen CM/ECF. Bankruptcy and district court are in process of implementing. Courts may post information on their websites as their implementation date approaches.

A user cannot add an account to your PACER Administrative Account. You must invite the user and they must accept the invite. As the PACER Administrative Account user, you can unlink the account at any time, and the individual user can also unlink at any time.

Accounts linked to a PACER Administrative Account will not generate a bill; all charges will be billed to the PAA.

If a user registers with a credit card and then is added to a PAA the credit card they used during registration will not be charged.
