⚠️ Important distinction: Missouri CaseNet public case searches (litigant name, case number, filing date, scheduled hearings, judgment index) require no login and no account. You need a CaseNet account only if you want to receive docket update alerts (Track This Case), file documents electronically (eFiling), or organize your cases in a personal folder (Manage My Case). If you are only searching for court records, close this page and use one of the 5 free public searches — no registration required.
What Does a Missouri CaseNet Account Provide Access To?
A Missouri CaseNet account provides access to 3 account-restricted functions: (1) Track This Case — automated notifications when docket activity occurs on a monitored case, delivered by email, phone call, or text, (2) Manage My Case — a personal case folder system for organizing and bookmarking tracked cases, and (3) eFiling — electronic submission of court documents for attorneys and authorized filers in participating courts.
Track This Case — Automated Docket Alerts
Track This Case sends automated notifications when specific docket activity occurs on a case you are monitoring. Missouri CaseNet delivers these notifications by 3 methods: email (all users), automated phone call (US numbers only), or text/SMS message. You receive an alert whenever any new entry is added to the case docket — new filings, hearing settings, orders entered, or judgment recorded.

eFiling — Electronic Document Submission
Missouri CaseNet eFiling allows attorneys and authorized filers to submit court documents electronically to participating Missouri Circuit Courts — eliminating the need to physically deliver or mail paper filings to the courthouse. eFiling through CaseNet is governed by Missouri Supreme Court Operating Rule 21 (electronic filing).
⚠️ eFiling registration is separate from a standard CaseNet account. To eFile, attorneys must register their eFiling credentials separately through the Missouri Courts eFiling portal — a standard My Account login is not sufficient. Contact the Missouri Courts eFiling support at (573) 526-0062 for eFiling registration assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions — Missouri CaseNet Login
The 6 most common questions about Missouri CaseNet login address whether a login is needed to search public records, how Track This Case works, the difference between a standard account and eFiling credentials, account creation requirements, login troubleshooting, and security of personal data in CaseNet accounts.
Do I need a Missouri CaseNet account to search public court records?
No. All 5 Missouri CaseNet public search methods — litigant name search, case number search, filing date search, scheduled hearings search, and judgment index search — are fully accessible without a login or account. Creating a CaseNet account is only necessary if you want Track This Case notifications, Manage My Case bookmarks, or eFiling access. If you are only checking court records, use the public search functions at courts.mo.gov/casenet without creating an account.
How does Track This Case notify me of docket changes?
After adding a case to Track This Case through your CaseNet account, OSCA sends an automated notification each time any new entry is added to that case’s docket. Notification methods include email (available to all users), automated phone call (US numbers), and SMS/text message. Notifications are sent the same business day the docket entry is made by the court clerk. You can manage notification preferences (method and frequency) in your My Account dashboard under Manage My Case settings.
Is a CaseNet My Account the same as eFiling registration?
No. A standard CaseNet My Account provides access to Track This Case and Manage My Case — it does not automatically enable eFiling. eFiling requires separate registration through Missouri Courts’ eFiling portal, governed by Missouri Supreme Court Operating Rule 21. Attorneys must register their eFiling credentials separately and verify their Missouri Bar (MOBAR) number during the eFiling registration process. Contact the Missouri Courts eFiling Help Desk at (573) 526-0062 for eFiling registration assistance. Self-represented litigants may eFile in some courts — check local court rules before attempting to eFile without an attorney.
What information does Missouri CaseNet store in my account?
A Missouri CaseNet My Account stores: your email address, password (encrypted), notification method preferences (email, phone, SMS), the list of cases you have added to Track This Case or Manage My Case, and notification history. CaseNet does not store personal financial information, Social Security numbers, or case content — only case identifiers (case numbers) and your notification preferences. OSCA’s data handling is governed by Missouri’s state IT security policies and Missouri Supreme Court Administrative Rules.
Can I use one CaseNet account for multiple cases?
Yes. A single CaseNet My Account can track unlimited cases through Track This Case and organize multiple cases in Manage My Case. There is no published per-account limit on the number of cases that can be added. Attorneys managing multiple client matters, self-represented litigants involved in multiple cases, and paralegals monitoring firm cases all use a single account to manage multiple case tracks simultaneously.
