The following procedures apply to the filing of confidential information in court records: (1) Social security numbers, employer or taxpayer identification numbers, and financial or medical account numbers of an individual where required to be filed with the court must be submitted on a separate Confidential Information Form, appended to these rules, and filed with the pleading or other document required to be filed. The Confidential Information Form is not accessible to the public; (2) Financial documents named in subdivision 15-15A-8 (2) that are required to be filed with the court must be submitted as a confidential document and designated as such to the clerk upon filing. The Confidential Financial Documents Information Form appended to these rules must be attached to financial documents being filed with the court. The Confidential Financial Documents Information Form is not accessible to the public. The confidential financial documents will not be publicly accessible, even if admitted as a trial or hearing exhibit, unless the court permits access pursuant to § 15-15A-10 . The court may, on its own motion, protect financial documents that have been submitted without the Confidential Financial Documents Information Form; (3) Names of any child under eighteen years of age, that is not a defendant, in any adult criminal proceeding must appear as "minor" or "minor family member" followed by a numerical identifier. The names must be provided on a separate Confidential Information Form; (4) Court records in which a child under eighteen years of age is identified as the petitioner or respondent in a protection order proceeding must be treated as confidential and excluded from public access; and (5) Parties with cases filed prior to the effective date of this rule, or the court on its own, may, by motion, protect the privacy of confidential information as defined in § 15-15A-8 . Parties filing this motion will submit a completed Confidential Information Form or Confidential Financial Documents Information Form as appropriate.
