The ePortal will accept filings in Word or PDF formats. All documents will be converted to PDF formats by the ePortal. By default, the ePortal will provide the PDF format to the local record system. Each county will also have the option to receive the original Word document if available. The ePortal can also provide the conversion to TIFF upon request if the local Data Management System (DMS) cannot.
Documents types accepted by Court Division can be found via the ePortal's Filer dropdown box.
