How do I request a Certificate of Good Standing from the Court?

Answer: 

Certificates of Good Standing are available through the District Court CM/ECF E-filing website found at
https://ecf.utd.uscourts.gov. The United States District Court for the District of Utah interprets "good standing" as an attorney who has fulfilled all requirements to be a member of the bar (Local Rule 83-1.1) and has no current disciplinary actions recorded. Additionally, the attorney is current with all dues required by the court. Attorneys requesting a certificate, attesting to their status, are required to pay an $21 fee.

 

To request a Certificate of Good Standing:

  • Login into the District CM/ECF website (requesting attorney's e-filing login and password required).
  • Select Civil from the menu bar.
  • Select Certificate of Good Standing.
  • Complete the required fields.
  • $21 fee paid during the event via pay.gov.
