Online licensing system goes fully live

The Courts Service’s online licensing system (eLicensing) is to go fully live from 30 June in most court districts, following a pilot project covering counties Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim and Louth.

When the system is in place, legal firms will be able to lodge, pay and track applications for licensing online and collect their licensing Court Orders, once their user account has been activated on Courts Service Online (CSOL).

Benefits

The new system is being seen as even more useful in the current pandemic situation, as it will cut down on the time solicitors need to spend in court offices.

Other benefits include electronic service on notice parties such as An Garda Síochána and the Fire Authority.

Court Orders will also be available electronically through the system.
