Status Updates
You can view the status of your filing, additional payments, and ad hoc payments with respect to the court. In addition:
- You can download documents related to a filing such as the original and stamped copies of your filings, as well as any Proofs of Service. See Download Documents Related to your Submitted Filing for details.
- If the court allows, you can download documents (such as the the Filed or Rejected stamped copy) for multiple filings using the Download Document Feature.
- A court may be configured to return a filing document to the filer through TrueFiling so additional actions can be performed. See Returned Filing Documents for details.
To access the status:
- Select History under Main Pages in the navigation pane.
- My History - filing bundles, additional payments, and ad hoc payments submitted to the court by you or by a connection on your behalf
- My Network's History - filing bundles, additional payments, and ad hoc payments submitted by you and those in your connection network.
In some court systems, a connection must grant you permission to view their filing history. If a connection hasn't granted you this permission, that connection's filing bundles are not listed.
- My Organization's History - filings bundles, additional payments, and ad hoc payments you submitted on behalf of an organization. This option is available only if you are a member of a TrueFiling organization, and the Organization Administrator has granted you permission to view its history. Click herehere to learn how the Administrator will configure your access to your organization's history. See Organizations in TrueFiling to learn more.
The Organization Administrator will determine if you can:
- View the entire filing history of the organization
- View only the filing history of organization cases that are assigned to you by the Organization Administrator
- Not view any of the organization's filing history. In this instance, the My Organization's History button is not available.
- Select the button to locate the desired filing history - for example, My Network's History. The search date range defaults to the last 30 days.
- Specify a different date range, if needed. See Specify a Date Range for detailed instructions.
- Click Search.
The filing history specified is returned in Filing View by default.
See History Page Display Options and Re-order the Grid to learn how to control how the bundles and filings are displayed.
