A. All pleadings shall comply with the requirements of KRS Chapters 205, 403, 405, and 407 by providing the personal identifying information required in those chapters. However, where personal identifiers are required by statute or contained in other documents or exhibits filed with the court, parties shall comply with CR 7.03(l)(b) by filing one copy from which any personal data has been redacted for the record and filing an unredacted copy designated to be sealed.

B. Further, a Case Data Information sheet on Form AOC-FC-3 shall be filed at the initiation of every case. If any information changes during the pendency of the lawsuit, the party whose information has changed shall file an updated Case Data Information sheet on Form AOC-FC-3. Because the AOC-FC-3 contains personal identifiers, the individual filing the form shall file one redacted and one unredacted copy. The filer shall seal the unredacted copy in a marked envelope, which the Clerk shall file in the record. Only official court personnel shall view the unredacted, sealed copy of the AOC-FC-3. All other individuals may only view the sealed information upon properly noticed motion that has resulted in entry of a certified order of the judge to whom the matter has been assigned.

C. It is the sole responsibility of the counsel and the parties to ensure that all pleadings and other papers comply with statutes and local rules requiring redaction of personal data identifiers. The Clerk will not review each document for redaction.

D. Notwithstanding KRS 403.135, as used in this section, “personal identifier” means a Social Security number or tax-payer identification number, date of birth, or financial account number, and does not apply to names of minor children for which parties shall utilize initials.
