NextGen: Central Sign-On

On October 9, 2018, the Montana Bankruptcy Court upgraded its Case Management/Electronic Case Filing System (CM/ECF) to the Next Generation of CM/ECF (NextGen).  This upgrade provides users with several benefits including Central Sign-on: the ability for e-filing attorneys to access any NextGen court they practice within using one login and password.  The Montana Bankruptcy Court upgraded to NextGen October 9, 2018

Your PACER Account will be your login (entry point for both PACER and CM/ECF).  Therefore, you must have access to an Individual PACER Account.

If you have your own individual PACER account and it was created prior to August 11, 2014 (also known as Legacy account), you must upgrade your account before you can electronically file in a NextGen court.  Please see the learning module below on upgrading your PACER account (a PDF copy has been included for your convenience).
