Apply for civil legal aid

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

You can use it for:

• domestic abuse, except DAPO (domestic abuse protection orders)
• section 8
• special children act
• public law family

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 other proceedings, use CCMS (Client and Cost Management System) instead.

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