Hardware and Software Requirements for E-Filing in Our Application
Here’s a list of Hardware and Software requirements for using our e-filing app.
Update your Email Settings to Configure the Notifications you Receive
The email you receive is dependent on your User Preference settings. If you aren’t receiving notifications or are receiving too many, this is the place to customize your preferences, so you will want to make sure they are properly set up.
Compress / Reduce a PDF When Documents Exceed The File Size Limit
Most courts impose a 25MB file size for PDF documents, and a 35MB limit for the entire envelope.
Add a Case to Your Account
In order to file a document on an existing case, you must first Add a Case to your account. You have the option of searching by court and case number, or an Advanced Case Search by court and party name.
Create Serve Only
If you wish to have a document served electronically to any service contacts on a case, Serve Only is an option to use. When you click the Submit button, the document(s) data is sent to the court only. The court then sends Notification of Service emails directly to each of the service recipients, and it notifies us of this service to any of our customers.
File into a Non-Indexed Case
From time to time, an existing case will not come up in the E-Filing system. If the court offers it, you will have the option to File into a Non-Indexed Case. Once the court accepts the Non-Indexed Case filing, you will be able to file on that case by clicking File on an Existing from the dashboard!
File an Exhibit with Pleadings
Learn how to exhibits along with your pleadings by combining pleadings & exhibits in a single PDF document, using the “Attachment to Previous” document type, and/or using the “Exhibit” document type.
Add Optional Services to the Document(s) you are E-Filing
When you initiate a new case or file on an existing case, you have the choice of adding optional services for the document(s) you are filing.
The Difference Between an Electronic Service Notification and a Courtesy Copy Email
When initiating a case or filing on an existing case, you will have the opportunity to add service contacts to receive electronic service notifications. You will also have the option to add email addresses of anyone you’d like to receive courtesy copy emails.
