2 – digit year
2 – character location code
2 – character case type code (CC - Circuit Civil, AC - Associate Civil, CR – Associate & Circuit Criminal, PR – Probate, etc.)
6 – digit sequential case number

Please substitute the case category listed below for the XX. Each of the following case categories will start with case #00001 at the beginning of each calendar year.

Note: For Traffic cases, the citation or ticket number is the case number.

The court location is the location in which the case is initiated. The case is NOT assigned a new case number when it is bound over nor is it assigned a new case number when there is a change of venue within the circuit. This assures that as much as possible the original case number is carried throughout the life of the case.
