Electronic Filing

The Hamilton County Clerk of Courts accepts certain types of documents for filing with the Clerk via electronic transmissions. Internet Electronic Filing is the process of electronically submitting documents with the Clerk of Courts via the internet. Documents are created on the filer's local computer or network and then securely sent over the internet to the Clerk of Courts. The Clerk of Courts receives and processes the filing with much the same result as if the filing had been mailed or presented in person. It is a paperless document delivery method. The Hamilton County Clerk of Courts also accepts Fax Filings that conform to the specifications in the local rules listed below.

For more information, please contact Lynn Streck at (513) 946-5612 or Lstreck@cms.hamilton-co.org

SIGN UP NOW FOR ELECTRONIC FILING!

Starting January 3, 2012, most Common Pleas Civil “A” case filings are to be filed via electronic means.

To do so an attorney must sign up to file electronically (efile) by completing the two paged Electronic Filing Application and Credit Card Authorization Forms below and linked here: Electronic Filing Registration and Credit Card Authorization Forms. A $100.00 deposit for copy costs is required for each account at set up and can be paid by check or credit card. The Clerk accepts American Express, Discover, Master Card and Visa. A credit card must be on account to pay statutory fees like Cross Claims. Multiple people can use the same credit card, but each attorney needs their own individual account. When an account has been set up the userid and password will be emailed to the account holder.

Pictorial User Guides are available below and training can be arranged by calling 513-946-5612. We urge attorneys to sign up starting now as it takes time for each account to be setup.
