How Does Court eFiling Work in New York City?
New York City courts use the New York State Courts Electronic Filing System (NYSCEF) for submitting legal documents online. eFiling is mandatory in most NYC civil cases and requires strict compliance with court rules, formatting standards, and service requirements.
123 Legal Inc. supports NYC eFiling by ensuring service of process is completed correctly, and affidavits are prepared
for immediate electronic filing.
What Is NYSCEF?
NYSCEF (New York State Courts Electronic Filing) is the official eFiling platform for New York courts, including New York City.
NYSCEF allows attorneys and authorized users to:
- File pleadings, motions, and affidavits online
- Receive instant filing confirmation
- Access case documents 24/7
- Serve documents electronically when permitted
Which New York City Courts Require eFiling?
eFiling is mandatory or authorized in most NYC courts, including:
- Supreme Court (Civil Division)
- Civil Court of the City of New York
- Housing Court (selected case types)
- Family Court (authorized cases)
- Surrogate’s Court (authorized matters)
- Commercial Division
- Appellate Division (authorized filings)
Some case types may still allow or require paper filing, depending on court rules.
Is eFiling Mandatory in New York City?
Yes. In New York City:
- Most Supreme Court civil cases require mandatory eFiling

How Process Serving Connects to NYC eFiling
Even in eFiled cases, service of process is still required.
Key points:
- Initial service is usually physical service, not electronic
- Proof of service must be uploaded to NYSCEF
- Affidavits must meet NYC formatting standards
- Incorrect service can invalidate eFiled cases
123 Legal Inc. provides affidavits specifically formatted for NYSCEF upload, reducing rejection risks.
Affidavit of Service Requirements for NYSCEF
Affidavits uploaded to NYSCEF must include:
- Process server’s name and NYC license number
- Exact service date and time
- Full service address
- Method of service used
- Description of person served (if applicable)
- Signed under penalty of perjury
Poorly prepared affidavits are a common cause of rejected filings.

In certain cases, NYSCEF allows electronic service between registered parties.
Important limitations:
- e-Service applies only after parties consent or are required
- Initial service of process is usually excluded
- Deadlines still depend on service completion
Physical service remains essential in most NYC cases.
Housing Court eFiling Considerations in NYC
