MyHMCTS: online case management for legal professionals
How to create a MyHMCTS organisation account to create, manage, submit and pay for online cases.
About MyHMCTS
MyHMCTS is an online case management tool for solicitors and other legal professionals managed by HM Courts and Tribunals (HMCTS). It allows you to submit, pay for and manage online case applications for:
- probate
- divorce
- financial remedy
- family public law order
- immigration and asylum appeals
Before you start
You will need an HMCTS Payment by Account (PBA) number. This is required to pay your court fees in MyHMCTS.
Confirm your organisation is not already registered with MyHMCTS by checking with your team or other colleagues. You can also get help with MyHMCTS.
Create a MyHMCTS account for your organisation
Before creating an account, you will need:
- your organisation’s PBA number
- DX reference number for the main office
- your organisation’s Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) ID
- The name and work email of someone at your organisation to be the MyHMCTS account administrator – the account administrator will be responsible for creating and managing MyHMCTS users at your organisation
If you use your name and email you will become the MyHMCTS account administrator. The account administrator can be changed after the account is created. Organisations can have more than one account administrator.

We will also send the MyHMCTS account administrator a password creation request email for them to finish setting up the account. The email will come from hm.courts.and.tribunals.registrations@notifications.service.gov.uk.
They must create their password within 20 days. If the password is not created in time, you can get help with MyHMCTS. They should check their junk email or spam folder if it has not arrived.

Get access to submit an application
You cannot create an account for yourself. If you have tried to register and have been told that the SRA ID or PBA number is already in use, then you must contact your MyHMCTS account administrator.
Once your organisation has created a MyHMCTS account administrator, that administrator creates and manages accounts for everyone at your organisation.
If you are unable to find your MyHMCTS account administrator, you can get help with MyHMCTS.
