The effective date of Licensure in Alabama was October 1,
2007. The State Bar and Administrative Office of the Courts
have been notified that all court reporting services must
now be performed by Certified Court Reporters (CCR’s) and
all transcripts must contain the CCR Number. Please list
your number as, “ACCR” and follow with your assigned number
on your transcripts. On this page you will find an example
of a certificate page with this required information. Please
note that under current statute, notary publics are required
to administer oaths. We are very excited to continue the
licensure process and are looking forward to our next stage
of development for licensure in the State of Alabama.
