Once training is completed, all parties interested in registering with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution must establish an account in the Georgia Courts Registrar (GCR). The GCR will not only serve you throughout the application process, but it also contains all registration information (including future continuing education and renewals) for the life of a neutrals’ registration in Georgia.
Establishing an account will require such personal information as name, birth date, gender (optional), race (optional), contact information, last four digits of social security number, and education/occupation background. Information must be updated regularly, as contact information changes or as is required by the annual registration renewal. Applicants are also required to answer additional questions and submit documents regarding: criminal background, lawful presence, and government issued identification – covered in detail here, in other sections.
For assistance in establishing an account in the Georgia Courts Registrar, please review the manual.
