CIVIL E-FILING

Wayne County State and Superior Courts Accept eFiling

Mandatory Civil eFiling will begin January 1, 2019

All Superior and State Courts in Georgia will transition to mandatory civil eFiling no later than January 1, 2019.  On May 8, 2018, Gov. Nathan Deal signed SB407 into law.  This legislation includes provisions for civil eFiling.  However, the clerk’s office is currently accepting eFiled documents.  For cases initiated on and after January 1, 2019, attorneys and self-represented litigants are required to eFile new cases in Superior and State Courts in Georgia.  This means no paper filings.
