Hello San Mateo County!
Many may remember an experimental eFiling endeavor several years ago when courts allowed documents to be eFiled. While that program was later rescinded, San Mateo County is now rejoining 18 other California court systems to permit electronic filing of legal documents.
Small Claims began accepting digital documents last month, and the soft launch will continue with Probate case types starting March 12, 2018. To begin with, only case initiations can be submitted electronically. Stay tuned for updates.
