How to use King County Superior Court electronic filing

All attorneys must electronically file (e-file) and e-serve all documents for debt collection cases. This is done using the Clerk's online eFiling application. The only exception is the King County Local General Rule 30.

Non-attorneys are not required to e-file documents, but can if they choose to. In some cases, electronic service of documents is required of non-attorneys if they elect to e-file documents. This is due to e-Service being mandatory per LGR 30(b)(4)(B). You must register to receive or serve documents.

Under this rule, there are specific documents that must be efiled, and others that do not need to be efiled. The following documents should not be efiled and instead must be filed in paper form rather than e-filed:

  • Original wills and codicils, including new probate cases that include original wills or codicils
  • Certified records of proceedings for purposes of appeal
  • Documents presented for filing during a court hearing or trial
  • Interpleader or Surplus Funds Petitions
  • Documents submitted for in camera review, including documents submitted under LGR 15
  • Affidavits for Writs of Garnishment and Writs of Execution

  • Voluminous Documents: Documents that are over 500 pages or more
  • Answers to Writs of Garnishment
  • Appeals of lower court decisions
