Online Case Access

For attorneys who need to request case access to view electronic case information through an account on the Placer County Superior Court's online portal, please note the following:

  • Documents are only viewable online for some case types. Online document access is governed by California Rules of Court, rule 2.503.
  • The Case Access Request Form can only be submitted online. The court will not accept the form in person.
  • In order to view cases that have been submitted for online case access a portal account must be created. You can create an account here.
  • The email used to create the account MUST match the one within your State BAR profile. If you do not have an email associated with your BAR profile, we suggest adding one prior to submitting your request.
  • Only one email per account can be used.
  • The court is only allowing a maximum of 10 cases per submission and one submission per week. This limitation is set to allow requests to be processed quicker and to help ensure all get access to their cases in a timely manner.
  • Once submitted, please allow 3-5 business days for your request to be processed.
  • Reasons you will NOT receive a case access token: 1. You are not the attorney of record on the case. 2. You have been withdrawn or substituted out. 3. That case is not accessible through an online portal account. 4. You did not provide the email associated with your State BAR account.
  • For any issues with the online portal, you can reference the FAQs here.
  • Note: In order to view cases in your account you will need to link that case token to your account. This is the token sent to you when your case access request has been granted. You can review the step by step process to do this in the guide and video above.
