Maricopa Cnty. Super. Ct. eFiling Guidelines § 2.05
File Transmission, Confirmation, Acceptance, and Rejections
2.05 File Transmission, Confirmation, Acceptance, and Rejections
Upon completion of the transmission of a document for filing to the Clerk of the Superior Court, the Clerk of the Superior Court
shall immediately scan the document for viruses. If the document is free from infection, the document shall be deemed received and
an acknowledgement of receipt of the document shall be immediately returned to the filing participant. The document shall then be
reviewed for payment of applicable fees and compliance with all standard filing practices and, if accepted, shall be deemed filed as
of the date and time it was received by the Clerk’s eFiling system.
If the document is infected, the document will be discarded and a notice will be sent to the filing participant that the document was
infected and has not been filed with the Clerk. The Clerk shall immediately notify the filing participant if any document is rejected
and the notice shall set forth the grounds for rejection. It shall be the responsibility of the filing party to resubmit any rejected
document with appropriate corrections.
Documents transmitted to the Clerk by an authorized EFSP (see Sec. 2.02 above), upon acceptance by the Clerk, will be deemed
filed as of the date and time they were received by the EFSP, and all notices of acceptance or rejection generated by the Clerk for
documents transmitted by an EFSP will be sent to the EFSP in lieu of the filing participant.
Each document accepted for filing by the Clerk of the Superior Court shall be electronically file stamped with the time and date of
filing, the name of the deputy clerk accepting the filing, and the words "Electronically Filed." This file stamp shall be applied to the
electronic document and shall be visible when the document is printed and viewed on-line. Electronically filed documents are not
complete without the electronic file stamp. eFilings file stamped in this manner shall have the same force and effect as documents
filed in the conventional manner.
eFiled documents accepted through an automated process used by the Clerk of the Superior Court’s office shall have the words
“COC Auto-Accept” in place of the name of the deputy clerk.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
