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. The letter sent to Alabama Clerks is available on this page for your review. 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 administers 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.
