Create a Document

In some courts, filers can create a document from a form presented within TrueFiling and upload that document as a filing.

If the court is configured for this feature, the Create Document button is available in the Upload pane.

 

Upload pane - Create Document button

  1. On the Upload pane, click the Create Document button.

  1. In the dialog displayed, select the arrow on the Available Forms field. The court determines which forms are listed.

  2. Select the appropriate form.

  3. Click Open Form. The form is displayed.

  4. Enter the form information as required.

  5. At the end of the form, a Complete, Sign Document, Finish, or Submit button will be visible. The court determines the button label.

  6. Click the appropriate button to complete.

The Upload pane is re-displayed, and the form is listed.

The Filing Type defaults based on the form selected.

  1. If permitted or required by the court, you can upload additional filings. See Upload your Filing Documents for details.

  2. If you want to add a note to send to the Clerk, click the Edit button. A pane will expand where you can input the note text.

  3. Input the note text. The court can configure the maximum number of characters allowed in this field. If this value is not configured, the note is limited to 200 characters. (Click Remove Note to delete the note.)

  4. Click Edit once again to retract the Note pane.

If you want to review your form before you submit it, click the View button to display your completed form.

If there is an error in the form, be aware the Edit button will not allow you to edit it. You'll have to click the Remove button to remove it from the Upload pane and then re-create the document by clicking the Create Document button once again.
