Signatures in Electronic Filings

activein force · 2025-12-01 – presentact-effective-date

(a) A registered user’s log-in and password serve as the user’s signature on

all documents electronically filed with the court and as a signature for purposes of

Fed. R. Civ. P. 11, these rules, and any other purpose for which a signature is

required in connection with proceedings before the court.

(b) Except as provided by L.R. 11.2, where a hand signature would

otherwise appear, each document filed electronically by a registered user must be

signed with the filing attorney’s name, e.g., “/s/ John E. Attorney,” a digital stamp,

or a scanned handwritten signature.

(c) A registered user must not knowingly permit or cause his or her log-in

and password to be used by anyone other than an authorized agent of the registered

user. If a registered user has reason to suspect that the security of his or her log-in

and password have been compromised, the clerk must be contacted immediately.

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.
