The Confidential Information Form (CIF) is a one-page statewide form from the Oregon Judicial Department, cited on its face as UTCR 2.130. It collects personal identifiers, such as Social Security numbers, birth dates and driver license details, for the parties and children in an Oregon circuit court case. Use this confidential information form when you are the petitioner, the respondent or another person who must provide that information, or when you need to update a form you already submitted by marking Amended CIF. On FillingPDF you can fill out the form online and download or print the completed PDF; the court publishes the original at courts.oregon.gov.

What is Confidential Information Form (CIF) – Oregon Courts PDF?
The Confidential Information Form (CIF) is the Oregon Judicial Department's one-page form for giving a circuit court personal identifying details about the parties and the minor children in a case, kept apart from the public court file. It cites UTCR 2.130 and is captioned "In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon."
The form asks for the county, the case number and who is submitting it: the petitioner, the respondent or another person. For each person it covers, it collects a date of birth, Social Security number, driver license number and state, former legal names, and the employer's name, address and phone. A separate block lists minor children of the parties with each child's name, date of birth and Social Security number. A box adds unmarried children age 18, 19 or 20 years old, per ORS 107.108.
A printed note on the form explains its privacy limits. The names of parties and children, and the children's ages, are not confidential. The form can be viewed only by the party who files it unless the court orders otherwise. An Amended CIF box marks a form that changes one already submitted. The revision printed on the form is Apr 2019.
The Oregon Judicial Department's Forms Center lists it among statewide forms, which any circuit court accepts.
Who needs to file Confidential Information Form (CIF) – Oregon Courts PDF?
The form is completed by a person in an Oregon circuit court case: the petitioner, the respondent or another person. The Submitted by line has a box for each, and the Information about section has the same three boxes to show whose details are on the form.
Typical content depends on the case:
- Each party whose identifiers are requested gives a date of birth, Social Security number, driver license number and state, former legal names and employer details.
- Parents or others listing minor children of the parties give each child's name, date of birth and Social Security number.
- Where unmarried children age 18, 19 or 20 are involved under ORS 107.108, the form has a box for them.
Two points limit what you must treat as private. The names of parties and children, and the children's ages, are not confidential. The form can be viewed only by the party who files it unless the court orders otherwise.
The form does not say who must file it in a given case. The Forms Center states that court staff cannot give legal advice, including telling you which form to choose, so check the court's rules or the Self-Help Center if you are unsure.
When to file Confidential Information Form (CIF) – Oregon Courts PDF
The form is used inside a circuit court case: it prints the case number at the top and cites UTCR 2.130, and no separate deadline is printed on it. If personal information you gave earlier changes, the Amended CIF box lets you submit a corrected form in the same case. The Oregon Judicial Department's Forms Center says court staff cannot give legal advice, so ask the court or consult UTCR 2.130 for when a CIF must accompany a filing in your type of case.
Documents you need
- An additional page, only if you list more minor children than fit on the form; check Additional page attached on the form.

How to submit Confidential Information Form (CIF) – Oregon Courts PDF
The form names no filing channel, so it goes to the circuit court that has your case. The top of the form calls for the county and the Case No, which tell you where it belongs.
- Court filing: The Oregon Judicial Department's Forms Center says any statewide form on its site is accepted in all circuit courts. Local courts may have their own forms, and the Forms Center links to them.
- Interactive forms: The Forms Center says its interactive forms (iForms) are available for some filings and can be filed electronically. It does not say that this form can be e-filed that way, so confirm with the court.
- Privacy: The printed note says the form can be viewed only by the party who files it unless the court orders otherwise.
Before you file, make sure the county, case number and your role are marked. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the court's channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving the county and Case No at the top blank, so the court cannot match the form to your case.
- Skipping the Submitted by box, or marking a different role in Information about than the person whose details you entered.
- Filing a changed form without checking Amended CIF when it replaces information already submitted.
- Treating names of parties and children, or children's ages, as confidential. The form says these are not confidential.
- Assuming the other party can see the form. The form says only the party who files it can view it unless the court orders otherwise.
- Listing more minor children than the form has room for without checking Additional page attached.
- Entering a driver license number without the state, since the line asks for both Number and State.
- Overlooking the box for unmarried children age 18, 19, or 20 years old (per ORS 107.108) when it applies to your case.
