Social Security, Bank Account, Credit, Debit and Charge Card Numbers

Any person preparing or filing a court or official records document should not include a social security number or a complete bank account, debit, charge, or credit card number in such document, unless required by law or court rule, or necessary to the adjudication of the case.

Any person has a right to request that the Clerk & Comptroller remove from an image or copy of a court or official records document a social security number or complete bank account, debit, charge, or credit card number contained in a court or official records document.

Requests must be made in writing and delivered by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission, or in person to the Clerk & Comptroller. Please use the form below to submit your request. The request must specify the:

• case number

A fee will not be charged for the redaction of a social security number or a complete bank account, debit, charge, or credit card number pursuant to such a request.
