Protect Your Identity

You are NOT required to submit your Social Security Number for court documents.  If a disclosure of a Social Security Number is required, only the last four digits of the number will be used.

Pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court new Rule 138, effective January 1, 2012: Unless otherwise required by law or ordered by the court, parties shall not include Social Security Numbers in documents filed with the court, including exhibits thereto, whether filed electronically or on paper.
