Introduction to CSO Services

Court Services Online

Court Services Online (CSO) is an initiative of the Court Services Branch of the Ministry of Attorney General and the British Columbia Judiciary.

CSO provides electronic court services to the public via the Internet, offering clients the ability to search court files and file court documents at any registry in the province virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The core services offered are:

eSearch

This service provides the public with 24/7 access to information from Provincial and Supreme civil court files and Provincial traffic and criminal court files in British Columbia. Counsel and parties on Supreme Court Family files can now request online access - read more

Provincial and Supreme Civil Court Files and Court of Appeal Files

For a $6 service fee, you can view the details of one of the files located by your search. Access is based on publicly available information. Some files may offer you only limited information and in some cases none at all.

Some court documents are also available within eSearch as a result of eFiling and scanning practices. For an additional fee, users may download copies of those documents which are electronically available or purchase copies of documents not available in electronic format by using the document request link.

Provincial Traffic and Criminal Court files

You can view details of the Provincial traffic and criminal court files in your search results. You can refine your search to narrow down the results before choosing a file to view. Access is based on publicly available information. Some files may offer you only limited information, and in some cases, none at all. There is no ability to view specific court documents within the traffic/criminal eSearch service.

For general information about eSearch and how to use this service, go to About CSO. You can also check out our FAQs.
