Fax Filing

Parties may file documents via facsimile (fax) in Civil, Probate, and Family Law cases pursuant to Local Rule of Court 1.8 and the current California Rules of Court. The required filing fees, and fax filing surcharge of $1.00 per page, must be paid by credit card. All required credit card information must be included on the Judicial Council Facsimile Transmission Cover sheet (JC form MC-005).

Important Information Regarding Direct Fax Filing

Documents may be faxed to the Court 24 hours a day.
Documents received by 4:00 p.m. on a court day are file-stamped with the court day they are received. Documents received after 4:00 p.m. will be file-stamped the next court day.
The Judicial Council Facsimile Transmission Cover sheet (JC form MC-005) is required as the first page of each case filing. A separate Judicial Council Facsimile Transmission Cover sheet is required for each case when submitting documents for multiple cases.
If a document is rejected for filing, the entire document must be re-submitted, including the Judicial Council Facsimile Transmission Cover sheet.
If you want a file-stamped copy of a document that you have filed by fax, you can see the document on the Court's website - DomainWeb - if allowed by law. If not, the Court will send you a return fax with a stamped copy of the first page of the document.
