What happens if the court rejects my document? Will the court file it as of the original submission date if I resubmit it and the court accepts it?

I submitted a document requiring a signature by a judicial officer. Will I also receive a conformed copy of the signed document via email?

Once documents of this type are accepted, the e-Filing system will automatically email a copy of the “received” document prior to signature and ruling by the judicial officer. Court staff will print the received and unsigned order and forward it to the courtroom for determination by the judicial officer. Please check the case summary at https://www.nevada.courts.ca.gov/ for entries regarding your document. After the judicial officer rules on the document and court staff processes it, you can obtain a copy from the clerk’s office. The document will be considered filed as of the date of the judicial officer’s signature. The court will not return a conformed copy of the document with the judge’s signature and any changes via email.

How much does it cost?

  • Applicable motion filing fee and/or first paper fee pursuant to the Nevada Superior Court fee schedule
  • $4.95 convenience fee paid to Journal Technologies (the third party vendor)

What are payment profiles?

  • A payment profile allows you to securely store your credit card information on industry leading Authorize.Net servers.
  • Once a profile is created, every transaction on e-Filing using your credit card will be processed without ever requiring you to type in card information.
  • Creating a payment profile also means e-Filing never has to store, process or transmit your credit card data.
  • Attorney Service Companies and Law Firms may setup a single payment profile allowing their members to use "company cards" rather than requiring each member to create their own profile.
