  2. I am not receiving email confirmation from pay.gov. Why?
    The confirmation email messages are sent by an email address that may be blocked by your email program. Check your spam filter and your spam folder. The email is sent by do_not_reply at psc dot uscourts dot gov [Back to Top]
  3. When I prepare my application for admission, should I redact the application?
    No. Redaction rules only apply to filings in cases. Anything attached to your bar admission record will only be accessible by you (the attorney) and the court. You must complete the social security number, otherwise, the admissions clerk will not process your admission. [Back to Top]
  4. May I submit an application for admission on behalf of another attorney?
    No. Do not submit an application for admission on behalf of another attorney. You may only submit an application for the attorney logged into CM/ECF. [Back to Top]
