Surrogate Digital Service and Justice Digital Branding Update

Dec 3, 2025

Effective December 2025, the visual design of Court of King’s Bench digital services will be updated to reflect the Courts’ visual identity. These changes will be applied first to the Surrogate Digital Service (SDS), beginning December 4, 2025. Other services will follow in the coming months.

The updates affect appearance only. There are no changes to functionality or to the processes for filing applications, submitting documents, or accessing existing materials.

These changes support the need for the Courts to maintain the identity of the Courts as separate and independent from government. The revised design aligns these digital services with Alberta Courts’ visual standards while continuing to recognize they are operated in partnership with the Government of Alberta.

As part of this update of SDS:

  • The header at the top of the page identifies it as part of Alberta Courts, and specifically the Court of King’s Bench
  • Copyright reference in the footer reflects © Alberta Courts
  • Colour and typography follows the Alberta Courts’ visual identity
  • A notice appears in the digital service informing users of this change
  • A statement on the help page, indicating this digital service is developed and operated by the Government of Alberta in partnership with the Court of King’s Bench
