Status Updates

You can view the status of your filing with respect to the court.

You can also 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.

Further, 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 a filing's status:

  2. Specify a different date range, if needed. See Specify a Date Range for detailed instructions.

  3. 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.
