eFiling Effective August 17, 2020, the court requires legal documents to be submitted electronically (eFiling) in Civil, Family, Probate, and subsequent filings in Criminal, Juvenile, and DCSS cases. Pro pers are exempted from eFiling; however, they are strongly encouraged to use the File @ Home and the eFile tool, which assists in submitting documents properly and electronically. Prior to eFiling documents, a party should review the California Code of Civil Procedure 1010.6, Rules 2.250, and 5.522 of the California Rules of Court. A party must select an electronic filing service provider (EFSP) that acts as the intermediary between the party and the court to file documents. Each EFSP offers a variety of additional services, and you should evaluate which provider meets your filing needs. Regardless of which EFSP is chosen, once you register with an EFSP, there is no need to re-register if you choose another provider. You may use the same user name and password. Certain fees for eFiling are applicable. Get Started Case Code Description Frequently Asked Questions Training Video

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-10 (California T4 Yolo build 2026-10-10) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-yolo/pages/online-services__efile-court-documents.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-10; 1214060 bytes, sha256 af4b30f4ff5ff820436a589659f00a6918592a59a0a8dcf2f9d0375b4e618719) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 2 items; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page says electronic filing is required, effective August 17, 2020, for subsequent filings in criminal, juvenile and DCSS cases; Local Rule 7.2 (Chapter 1, carded) makes it mandatory in civil, probate and family law cases and, after the initial accusatory pleading, in juvenile dependency cases, and Rule 7.3 makes it permissive in criminal and juvenile delinquency cases.
