The ECR Online application requires the setup of a declining balance account.  To create an ECR Online user account a funds deposit, credit card or internet check, is required.  

The cost for accessing documents (viewing, printing and saving the file) is 25 cents per page.  This fee will be deducted from your account balance before providing access to the case document.  You are able to directly add more money into your account if necessary.
eFiling and ECR Online are two separate applications and do require the creation of separate user accounts. ECR Online requires funds to be deposited at the time you open the account. As little as 25 cents is required, which will allow access to a one page document (25 cents per page).
