Attorney Access

An Attorney of Record OR individual can now request to have access to those cases filed with the Courts in Sumter County.

A single user would be the typical small office with a single to few attorney offices where you do not have a significantly large staff and you do not wish to internally manage your office accounts. This will be the most typical scenario and will be suitable for most environments

• For cases which the ATTORNEY is a party to or a representative of, this access will allow them the ability to bypass the need to request documents be made viewable through the normal public records requesting process**

Update JUNE 6th, 2021:

A new Attorney registration process will soon be available online as approved by the Florida Supreme Court and Florida Bar Association to reflect new security profile settings for Florida Attorneys.  Information to all existing CCIS/OCRS users has been previously provided via email to all account stakeholders.  If you did not receive this notification please contact our IT Support HelpDesk via email and we will try to forward a copy to you for review.

Please review the following notification on how the Security Matrix was updated for all Registered and Attorney Users

This level of access requires a unique username and password and will grant access to additional case types online.  

• For any individual looking for additional access to Court Records Online, they are able to apply to become a Registered User
• This will not allow said user to have any type of immediate access to court document images

We will periodically update this section with some helpful tips on how to complete your registration forms.  If you have questions not covered here, please review the FAQ page available online or contact our office during normal business hours.

• Print or Type your form - script writing can sometimes be hard to understand and may delay the approval process
  
  
• Email Addresses - Do NOT use Distribution or Group email addresses - personal business accounts only should be used.  Transmission of sensitive information will be required that is intended for the sole use of the applicant.  Access by other parties could be deemed a security violation and breach of the Terms of Service
  
  
• Email addresses will be validated for attorneys from the Florida Bar Website.  Applications that are received with invalid email address will be processed using the applicant attorney information registered with the Florida Bar
