North Carolina completed its county-by-county eCourts rollout in October 2025
The final 13 counties joined a statewide filing and records platform after a phased transition.
News report
North Carolina completed the eCourts conversion across all 100 counties on October 13, 2025, when the final group of 13 counties joined the electronic filing and case-management platform. The judiciary's announcement marked the completion of a phased county rollout.
The last group included Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Cleveland, Davidson, Davie, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, McDowell, Rowan and Rutherford. Earlier groups had brought other regions onto the system, expanding access in stages rather than through a single statewide changeover.
The court system describes eCourts as providing online filing and searches for court records. Its public services pages distinguish several functions: Portal is used for searches and certain payments, File & Serve for submitting documents, and Guide & File for preparing supported forms.
Those separate tools matter because locating a case record is different from filing a document into a case. The statewide program page confirms that all counties use the Enterprise Justice, formerly Odyssey, electronic filing and case-management system. It directs users to service-specific information rather than treating the project name as a single application.
The completion announcement established geographic coverage, not that every record is public or every court process is online. Confidentiality rules, record availability and local processing still shape what users can see and do. The October milestone is best understood as a change in the infrastructure connecting county courts and their users. Claims about faster case resolution or fewer errors would require additional evidence beyond the fact that the rollout reached its final counties.
