eFiling allows you to file court documents electronically, eliminating the need to visit the courthouse. You submit your documents through an online platform that connects directly to the court's system for processing.

Most attorneys and self-represented litigants (pro per) are required to eFile for civil, family law, probate, and small claims cases. Criminal cases and a few other specific case types may not yet require eFiling.

To eFile, you must sign up with one of the court’s approved eFiling service providers. This can be done through their websites, and you’ll need basic information like your name, email address, and payment methods.

Documents such as petitions, motions, notices, and evidence can generally be filed electronically. However, original signed documents or specific filings (like adoption petitions) may require in-person submission.

When filing electronically, you will be prompted to pay fees using a secure payment gateway. Typically, credit cards, debit cards, or electronic checks are accepted.

Yes, eFiling is available 24/7. However, filings made after the court's cut-off time (usually 5 PM) may not be processed until the following business day.

Upon successful submission, you will receive an email with a confirmation receipt that includes a timestamp and a case number. You can also check your submission status in your eFiling account.

eFiling is primarily done through PDF format, though some systems may also accept TIFF or other file types. Always check the eFiling guidelines to ensure you’re using the correct format.

No, each eFiling submission is tied to a single case. You will need to submit documents for different cases separately, though you can use the same eFiling account for multiple cases.

Yes, if you are requesting the court to issue an order (such as a motion or stipulation), you will typically need to file a proposed order as part of your eFiling submission. Be sure to follow the court’s guidelines for how to format and submit it.

Yes, you can submit exhibits electronically as part of your eFiling. However, you may need to ensure that exhibits are clearly labeled and formatted according to court rules, which could include using a specific naming convention for files.

Confidential documents can still be filed electronically, but they must be marked as "confidential" when submitting. In some cases, you may need to file a separate request for confidentiality or submit them in a sealed envelope if the court requires extra protection.

If your filing is rejected due to formatting issues, incorrect file types, or other errors, you will receive an email explaining the rejection. You will have the opportunity to correct the errors and resubmit the documents.

It depends on the type of filing. Some filings, such as motions, may require a cover sheet or cover letter, while others do not. Always refer to the specific court rules for the document you are submitting to determine if one is needed.

If your document was accepted but you need to make a correction (such as correcting a typographical error), you may need to file a "Notice of Correction" or an amended document through the eFiling portal.
