Court Reporters Board of California
The mission of the Court Reporters Board is to protect the public by ensuring the integrity of the judicial record and maintaining the standard of competency through oversight of the court reporting profession.
Highlights
- Coming soon! In accordance with the state initiative for technical modernization, in Spring 2024 (official date TBD), the board will be transitioning over to a fully online licensing and renewal system. Applicants will be able to apply and pay for licensure and exams online, and licensees will be able to renew and change their address or name. (The Transcript Reimbursement Fund and Complaints are already online and ready for use.)
What does this mean for you as a new applicant, current applicant, or licensee?- New applicants may do one of the following:
- submit applications/payments through the mail now and register for an online account once the new online system is available, or
- wait until the system is online to submit your application via your registered account.
- Current applicants will need to register for an account on the new online system. This will provide your email address to the board for communication and will allow you to continue through the application process and subsequent renewal processes once licensed.
- Current licensees will need to register for an account on the new online system. This will provide your email address for future communications as well as connect your existing license to your account so you can process your renewals, etc.

- 2023-2024 Sunset Review
