DOL in Federal Court

Check the status of your case

Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) is an electronic public access service that allows users to obtain case and docket information from Federal Appellate, District and Bankruptcy courts, and from the U.S. Party/Case Index.

Register to use PACER

In order to obtain a PACER login and password, complete the online registration form at pacer.psc.uscourts.gov. Once your registration has been processed by the PACER Service Center, a login and password will be sent by U.S. mail to the address provided on the registration form. For security reasons, logins and passwords cannot be emailed, faxed, or given over the phone.

Check the status of someone else's case

The U.S. Party/Case Index serves as a locator index for PACER. You may conduct nationwide searches to determine whether or not a party is involved in federal litigation. To do so, visit pacer.psc.uscourts.gov.
