Effective July 1, 2003, the Superior Court will accept Civil, Probate, and Family Law filings via facsimile pursuant to Local Rule of Court 1.8 and California Rules of Court 2006-2008. Facsimile filing will allow greater access to the court by using existing technology and resources. Faxed documents will be received directly into the court's computer, processed, and entered into the Case Management System (DOMAIN). Documents will then be available online, through the court's website if permitted by law, or copies will be faxed or sent via United States mail to the filing parties. 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).
