PACER Updated Password Standards Effective August 17, 2026

Beginning August 17, 2026, PACER users who have not updated their password in the last 18 months will be randomly selected to update their password to comply with the updated password standards. Strong passwords are essential in safeguarding systems from unauthorized access. According to the updated standards, new passwords must contain: 14-45 characters. At least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and one special character (all special characters are allowed). Not contain any part of your first name, last name, username, or email address.

IMPORTANT: All PACER users must update their passwords every 180 days to reduce the risk of extended use of compromised passwords.

If you have any questions, please contact the PACER Service Center at (800) 676-6856 or [email protected]. The PACER Service Center hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. CST.
