E-Filing FAQs

I created an E-Filing account. Why can't I see my case?

Log in to your E-Filing account.

Click on "E-File into Existing Case" and follow the "Opt In" process.

Once the court accepts your "Opt In", you will have 24/7 access to your case. It can take up to 2 business days to get access.

My filing or document was rejected. Now what?

Check your email. You will have received an email informing you the document was rejected and why.

Log in to your E-Filing account and check your case activity, which will show if the filing has been submitted, accepted, or rejected.

Click on the rejected filing, then the document history.

Contact the court for more information.

How much does it cost to E-File?

There are three types of fees:

1. (Court) Statutory Filing Fees: Filings fees for specific filings. These are the same filing fees that are charged at the clerk’s office. These fees are not charged until the filing is accepted by the court. They can be waived if the courts grants a fee waiver. Currently, you can't E-File if you have received a fee waiver. See JDF 1 Court Filing Fees and Costs.

2. (CCE) E-Filing Fees: The $12 fee charged per filing. You can file as many documents as you need in one filing. This fee is not charged until the filing is accepted by the court.

3. (*CCE & USPS) Service Fees: These are the fees charged when a party requests the E-Filing system to provide Service. Service occurs when the party submits the filing. These fees are non-refundable. If the other party has a CCE account, they are automatically Served, and a $12 fee is charged. That information is included in the terms and conditions when the E-Filing account is created. If USPS Service is requested, the fees are based on the number of pages.

CCE (Colorado Courts E-Filing): There is a $12 fee to serve the other party if they have a CCE account.

USPS (United States Postal Service, a.k.a. US Mail): Review the E-Filing Pricing Model.

What common mistakes should I avoid?

Do not file or use the E-Filing system for someone else.

Do not let someone else E-File your documents.

Make sure the caption box is filled out completely on every page that has one.

Make sure you sign every place that asks for a signature.

Make sure you scan documents correctly:

- Each document must be scanned separately. If a document contains multiple pages, it is still considered one document, and pages should be scanned together.

- You can include multiple documents for one filing, but they cannot be combined into one scanned document. Each document needs to be scanned separately, then uploaded into your filing.
