From September 1 to December 1, 2024, first-level and second-level courts all over the country will slowly transition to electronic filing for civil cases.

Step 2: SAVE as separate files following these filename formats:
– [Pleading]-[Docket No.].pdf

Step 3: SEND via email:

The full implementation of the eFiling Guidelines in trial courts for civil cases takes effect on December 1, 2024.

Under the Guidelines and Rule 13-A of the Rules of Civil Procedure, filing and service of non-initiatory pleadings shall only be made by transmitting them in digital file format through email.

Complaints and initiatory pleadings may be filed personally, by registered mail, or accredited courier but will not be acted upon by the court unless digital copies are emailed within 24 hours from filing.
