Apply for civil legal aid

Providers can use this service to apply for civil legal aid for their clients.

You can use it for one, or a combination of these applications:

  • domestic abuse, except DAPO (domestic abuse protection orders)
  • section 8

But do not use this service if:

  • the client is self-employed or is a member of the armed forces
  • you want to make an emergency application and delegated functions have not been used
  • you want to make both a family link and legal link to your application
  • you want to amend a submitted application

If any of these apply, or you want to apply for different proceedings, use CCMS (Client and Cost Management System) instead.

Your progress is saved so that you can come back to it later.
