Court Services Online Projects

Court Services Online (CSO) is an initiative of the Court Services Branch of the Ministry of Attorney General and the British Columbia Judiciary.

CSO provides electronic court services to the public via the Internet, offering clients the ability to search court files and file court documents at any registry in the province virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The core services offered are:

E-search

There is a $6.00 charge per search. For this $6.00 fee, you can view the details for any one of the files in your search results. You can refine your search to narrow down the results before choosing a file to view.

Users now have the ability to purchase copies of documents that are currently viewable through CSO e-Search. Users will first need to e-Search the file to determine if the document they want is on file and available to them. They will be charged the $6.00 CSO service fee for this search. For each document they decide to purchase during a search, they will be charged an additional $10.00. Click for instructions and further details on Purchase Documents Online through e-Search.

As access is based on publicly-available information, some files may offer you only limited information, and in some cases, none at all.

Please note this service does not provide access to any Provincial Family or Supreme Adoption files. Also, e-search does not provide access to any of the actual documents within a file.

For more information about e-search, data/file access limitations, and how to use the service, go to the CSO webpage.

View the Daily Court Lists

Available now, daily CSO court lists are provided free of charge and are displayed in PDF format. To view a list select the level of court (Provincial or Supreme) and the location for the level (Small Claims or Chambers) from the drop down list provided. Court locations that have scheduled sittings for that day only will be displayed. Files with access restrictions (i.e. divorce, family law) will display only the file number. The system displays the court lists for the current day only and does not archive past dates. Court lists for the following day will be displayed after 6:00am PST.

E-filing

Available in 2006, this service will allow users to electronically file court documents in the British Columbia Provincial and Supreme Courts and the Court of Appeal. Click here for the latest news on the status of e-filing.
