If you have been exempted from the electronic registration and electronic filing rules, you will submit court forms to the Clerk. The Florida state court system has been working for many years to automate the process of filing court documents. In 2008, legislators supported these efforts by ordering a transition to electronic filing – “electronic filing” – of court records and by asking the Supreme Court to set standards, which it did on July 1, 2009. On June 21, 2012, the Supreme Court issued opinions approving the recommendations to require e-filing by lawyers and the e-service through phased implementation. Yes, in all cases where you wish to file an electronic filing, you must manually file an application for approval of e-filing and then click here to activate your eligibility for e-filing once the application is granted.

Can I submit a new complaint or notice of referral electronically? System failures are displayed on the JB Connect computer support website, this website and Twitter. If the electronic file system is not available, please check it regularly. If you are unable to meet a deadline due to technical difficulty, submit the document electronically or non-electronically as soon as possible. The submission is not presented on time unless the court decides that it is presented in a timely manner. See Rule 16.309(2). The Florida Courts Technology Commission has approved the following data elements for the national e-filing portal. Data elements identify the information needed to initiate the registration of a case or to file a document in an already existing case. The data elements of the envelope for civil services include cases of civil circuit, civil county, juvenile dependency, family and succession.
The data elements in the envelope for criminal divisions cover cases of criminal circuit, county crime, criminal trafficking, civil trafficking and juvenile delinquency. Criminal data and traffic elements are also defined based on the file server role. If you have any questions or need additional information about the approved data elements, please contact Lakisha Hall. Q. Once I have obtained the e-filing authorizations, do I have to submit all my documents electronically? There are two electronic methods for submitting documents to the Court for filing. As described below, you can request permission to file documents electronically in a case directly in the Case Management/Electronic Filing (“CM/ECF”) of the Court of Justice. You can also submit documents to the Court of Justice via the Electronic Document Submission System (“EDSS”). You do not need to obtain permission to use EDSS, but it does not offer all the features of e-filing. More information about EDSS can be found here. You do not need to register for the online service – registration is optional. If you choose not to register, your hard copies will be sent to you through the U.S. Postal Service, so you may not know as quickly as the court has made an order in your case as you would have if you had signed up for an email notification.
Q. Can I use my username and password to submit documents to others? No. Your e-filing privileges are granted to you and to you alone. You can only submit your own documents electronically in your own cases. Any attempt to file documents for other parties may result in the revocation of your electronic filing privileges by the court. You must register on the electronic file website to submit your application electronically. Registration is free. If you do not have a lawyer and need to represent yourself in court, you will be designated as a self-represented litigant or a pro-se party.
To meet the criteria for electronic filing of documents, you must use the electronic file system to submit documents electronically. You can track the status of your submissions, review submissions from other parties, and receive documents and notices from the Clerk`s office. For submissions, the corresponding application fee applies. Fees can be paid online with a valid credit or debit card or in person at the courthouse. You must have a PACER account to view your case directory and retrieve documents. If you already have a PACER account, go to step 4. If not, visit the PACER website (www.pacer.gov) or call the PACER Service Centre at (800) 676-6856 to create a new account. Option 3: Visit the Illinois Guide & File website to use a free online guided interview for one of the following types of cases. Sometimes you can create an electronic file at the end of the interview.
If you cannot create an electronic file at the end, save your documents and follow the instructions in the next step of the electronic file. The email address is ecf-helpdesk@cacd.uscourts.gov (the link sends an email) Yes, unless the designated judge has decided otherwise. A mandatory copy of each document filed electronically must be served in the designated judge`s chambers or at the specified location no later than 12:00 p.m. on the next working day. See R.S. 5-4.5. Once the Florida Courts Technology Commission has approved the e-filing plan and granted approval by letter from the commission chair, there must be a trial period of at least 90 days. Test criteria have been established to ensure that the e-filing system is functioning properly.
