A CNR (Case Number Record) is the unique identification number assigned to a case. Every District Court and High Court matter has one, and it stays the same throughout the life of the case — even if the case is transferred or renumbered.
Why the CNR is useful
It's unique — no two cases share a CNR, so there's no ambiguity.
It's the fastest way to add a case — searching by CNR returns an exact match instead of a list of possibilities.
It's the most reliable for keeping a case in sync with court records.

Where to find a CNR
A CNR appears on court cause lists, case status pages, and most case documents. It's a 16-character code combining a state and establishment identifier with a sequence number and year.
