  3. Click the Maintenance tab.
  4. Click on the Attorney Admissions/E-File Registration link
  5. Select U.S. District Courts as the Court Type and Northern District of Georgia as the Court, and then click Next.  [Note:  If you do not see Northern District of Georgia in the pick list of courts, you already have access to our court’s ECF system.]
  6. Select E-File Registration Only.
  7. Verify or update the information populated in the form, then click Next.
  8. Verify or update payment information, and then click Next.
