FAQs
Got a question? We’re here to help.
San Diego Court eFiling Requirements (California)
Electronic filing (eFiling) is mandatory in most San Diego County Superior Court civil cases. Understanding local eFiling rules
helps prevent rejected filings, delays, and missed deadlines.
Is eFiling Required in San Diego Courts?
Yes. The San Diego Superior Court requires eFiling for most civil case types, including:
- Unlimited Civil cases
- Limited Civil cases
- Complex Civil Litigation
- Civil Harassment matters (where applicable)
Some family law, probate, juvenile, and criminal filings may have
different rules or exemptions, depending on the case and filing party.
Approved San Diego eFiling Service
Providers (EFSPs)
San Diego Superior Court uses approved Electronic Filing Service Providers (EFSPs) rather than direct court uploads.
Filings must be submitted through a court-authorized EFSP, which:
- Transmits documents to the court’s Case Management System
- Handles fee processing
- Provides submission confirmations and rejection notices
123 Legal Inc. works with approved EFSPs to ensure filings are accepted and processed correctly.
San Diego eFiling File Format & Technical Rules
To avoid rejection, filings must meet these standards:
- PDF format only
- Text-searchable (OCR required)
- 300 DPI resolution recommended
- 25 MB maximum file size per document (unless otherwise permitted)
- No password protection or encryption
- Proper document titles (no special characters)
Documents must be clearly legible and uploaded as separate PDFs when required by the court.
Filing Deadlines & Cut-Off Times (San Diego)
- Documents filed before 11:59 PM are considered filed the same court day
- Documents submitted after 11:59 PM are filed the next court day
- Rejections reset the filing time—timely correction is critical
Using a professional eFiling service helps avoid deadline-related issues.

We coordinate
eFiling and service of process to keep your case compliant from start to finish.
