Coming Soon: Changes to PCL’s Find Bankruptcy by SSN/EIN Page

Starting Apr. 13, 2025, users can once again search for bankruptcy records using only the SSN/EIN on the PACER Case Locator (PCL) Bankruptcy Search page. However, this page will require responding to a CAPTCHA challenge to proceed.

Note: There are no current plans to update the PCL API. API users will still need to provide a last name or business name when searching by SSN/EIN.

To prepare now, you can test your scripts in the QA environment at https://qa-pcl.uscourts.gov/pcl/pages/search/findBankruptcy.jsf.
