Circuit court eFiling - Updating self-represented (pro se) party account information

  • Updated

    • Purpose: This article describes how to update eCourts account information and user preferences. Keep your account details and email preferences current to receive notifications about circuit court case activities and ensure that only valid recipients are carbon-copied on them. 
    Note: If your street address has changed, you must contact the clerk of court's office to ask them about their process for updating party addresses. The eFiling system does not maintain physical address information for self-represented litigants.

    Applicable Users: Self-represented (pro se) parties
