1. Please submit requests for certificates of good standing or a wall certificate by electronically filing the request form (located in the forms section of the website) in miscellaneous case number 1:25-mc-2. Use CM/ECF and select the appropriate event “Certificate of Good Standing Request” or “Wall Certificate Request” which is located under Civil>Other Filings>Attorney Admissions Events. Please complete all fields in the filing event. The Certificate of Good Standing will be emailed to you and the Wall Certificate will be mailed to you.
2. You must include your SDNY Bar ID number on the form.
If you were admitted after October 6, 2018, your SDNY Bar ID is your NYS Bar number.
If you were admitted between October 6, 2018 and 2001, your SDNY Bar ID is your first & last initial and the four numbers you selected at the time of your admission.
If you were admitted prior to 2001, your SDNY Bar ID is your first & last initial and the last four digits of your social security number, e.g. AB1234.
If you do not know your SDNY Bar ID please send an e-mail to Help_Desk@nysd.uscourts.gov. Your e-mail request must include:
The attorney’s full name
The firm name
The last four digits of the social security number
The state bar number
The attorney’s e-mail address
Requests received during business hours will receive a response as soon as possible, and no later than two business days.
3. Do not mail the form or deliver this form to Attorney Services. It can only be filed on CM/ECF using your own individual Pacer account. Any mailings requesting certificates will be returned to you. Attorneys who are admitted pro hac vice are not fully admitted to the court and are not eligible to receive a certificate.
4. After you have made your Certificate of Good Standing request on CM/ECF, you will receive your Certificate of Good Standing via your email that we have on record for you. If you have not received your certificate by the next business day, please check your spam and junk email to ensure the certificate is not there. If you still cannot locate the COG request, please email the Help Desk with your name, the date you made your request along with the receipt number. Our email is: Help_Desk@nysd.uscourts.gov.
(Note: When making the request, please ensure that you go through the entire docketing event until the message appears that this entry has been docketed on CM/ECF)
