Orders, Judgments, and Documents Stamped Electronically Received / Electronically Submitted

Last Update: November 23rd, 2021

Any document accepted in the e-Filing system stamped as Electronically Received or Electronically Submitted—orders, judgments, or any other document that requires a Judge or Clerk’s signature—is tentatively approved upon further review by a judicial officer or court clerk.

Since this subsequent review varies from court to court, filers will want to reach out to that specific court with the Envelope Number for reference to advise on any accepted documents that are stamped Electronically Received or do not have signed copies.

Some courts require the filer enter and select themselves as a Service Contact to enable them to provide an emailed copy of the final file-stamped document.

See below for instructions for specific courts:

California

 

Alameda Superior Court Civil

The Alameda Superior Court currently processes signed documents (orders, judgments, etc…) on CIVIL matters in one of two ways.

  1. Electronically: If the judge signs the order electronically, the court then returns the signed copy to our application. We then distribute that to the filer.
  2. In Paper: If the judge chooses to print and sign the order in paper, then the court is unable to return a signed copy to our application. They will then distribute the signed order outside the e-filing system themselves via US mail or email.
 

Los Angeles Superior Court Civil

The Los Angeles Superior Court currently processes signed documents (orders, judgments, etc…) on CIVIL matters in one of two ways.

  1. Electronically: If the judge signs the order electronically, the court then returns the signed copy to our application. We then distribute that to the filer.

Los Angeles Superior Court Family

Once a judicial officer reviews and signs a proposed order, the signed and filed order will be transmitted back to the efiler via U.S. Mail. It will also be available for viewing through the Attorney Portal or on Public Terminals located in courthouse locations.

 

Los Angeles Superior Court Probate

The Los Angeles Superior Probate Court requires the filer enter and select themselves as a Service Contact to enable them to provide the filer with an emailed copy of the final order.

Since the court only returns a signed copy to the service contacts listed in the filing, if the filer does NOT select themselves as one, the Court will NOT be able to return a copy of the order electronically. The filer will then need to go to the court to get a copy.

  1. Electronically: If the judge signs the order electronically, the court then returns the signed copy to our application. We then distribute that to the filer.
