Is eFiling mandatory?
Beginning January 1, 2022, eFiling will be mandatory for parties represented by counsel, unless counsel has obtained a court order for exemption.
If I am an attorney, how do I request an exemption from electronic filing?
If you are an attorney who cannot use the eFiling system, you may request an exemption from mandatory electronic filing using Judicial Council forms EFS-007 and EFS-008 and submit those forms to the court for review.
If I am representing myself (pro per), is eFiling mandatory?
No, if you are a self-represented litigant (pro per), eFiling is optional.
If I am a self-represented litigant (pro per), and choose not to use eFiling, what are my other filing options?
If you are self-represented and choose not to use eFiling, the other filing options available are by visiting a clerk’s office at the courthouse, by U.S. mail, or by placement in a drop box at the courthouse.
Is eSubmit still available?
Beginning January 1, 2022, eSubmit will no longer be available for unlimited civil, including complex, limited civil, unlawful detainers and small claims cases. eSubmit will still be available for Family Law, Probate, Juvenile, Criminal and Traffic cases.
What are the filing hours for eFiling?
You may submit your filings electronically 24 hours a day. Any eFiling received by the court before midnight will be deemed received or filed on the same business day if accepted. Any eFiling submitted after midnight or on weekends/holidays will be deemed received or filed as of the next business day if accepted.
How does eFiling work?
Electronic filing of court documents occurs through an electronic filing service provider (EFSP). The user creates an account through their selected EFSP and the eFiling system manages the flow of the documents and fees to and from the court. The filer will submit the documents to the EFSP for submission to the court. The court will accept or reject the documents. The documents are returned to the EFSP for return to the filer through the EFSP’s electronic filing portal.
Do I have to use an EFSP?
Yes, the Judicial Council has mandated that all courts accepting electronically filed documents use independent EFSPs. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1010.6(e) the court may not accept electronic filings directly. You can choose any approved EFSP listed on the court’s website.
Can I change my EFSP after I have chosen and registered with one?
Yes, you may choose any EFSP. You may change to a different service provider at any time. Selecting and using an EFSP is similar to using an ‘attorney service’ for filings, except the types of filings processed are electronic.
Who can I speak with if I have a question about an electronic filing?
The first point of contact for any question should be your EFSP E-FILE Expert™
