**PLEASE READ eFILING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO MINIMIZE
THE CHANCE OF YOUR FILING BEING REJECTED**
eFiling is a way to securely transmit legal documents to a court. This is a paperless method for the court and provides easy access to customers. Documents can be filed from home/office (24 hours a day, 7 days a week). Additional benefits include: instant access to file stamped copies; online tracking and proof of submission, acceptance, and/or rejection; and searching capabilities.
This process reduces data entry errors and the possibility of documents being misfiled. Any scanned or eFiled document will be available via Odyssey Portal immediately upon acceptance of the eFiled documents.
A Request Letter or Affidavit is required to Issue a FIFA. Please include the Superior Court case number and specify the judgement of interest.
Requests and Affidavits for a FIFA pertaining to Foreign Judgements cannot be eFiled. Please mail the Request Letter or Affidavit to Issue a FIFA and payment.
We accept credit cards*, cash, money orders, and in some cases, business checks made payable to the Clerk of Superior Court.
*Credit card surcharge of 2% fee +$1.00.
