Getting started with Online Registry

An Online Registry account gives you access to secure case management services in the NSW Supreme, Land and Environment, District and Local courts.

If you are acting on behalf of a business, company or organisation including proprietary companies, unions, and employer organisations, select the Business user type when you go through the registration process.

If you are a sole trader, in a partnership, or involved in a business that is not a proprietary company, do not select Business user type. You’ll find information on registering in the section on Representing yourself.

Large businesses, companies or organisations

Creating electronic organisations

If you are acting on behalf of a larger business, company or organisation and need to administer staff access to case information and set filing privileges to file court documents, the Online Registry offers tools to set up an electronic organisation (or 'eOrganisation'), which enables teams to collaborate electronically.

You’ll need to register an Online Registry account before setting up work teams in an eOrganisation. Learn how to set up, share, manage and delegate work with an eOrganisation.
