Ventura County Superior Court eFiling:
5 Tips to Avoid Rejection
Reduce your rejection rate to less than 10%!
A leader among e-filing service providers, Green Filing is dedicated to beating the court-wide average rejection rate of all filings in California (12.3%) by using specific built-in tools to reduce filing errors. Our Customer Support team recommends these five simple tips to filers to drastically decrease the likelihood of a returned filing.
1. Complete ALL Required Text Fields.
You might be surprised how many filings get rejected over one small piece of missing information. The Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles reported that “Document is missing information or attachments” accounted for approximately 30% to 46% of e-filing rejections over a recent 13-month period. Green Filing automatically detects and alerts you to any missing required fields in your filings.
2. Have Your Documents Ready.
Once all your documents are ready, ensure they are in the court’s accepted format. In most California courts, including Ventura, submitted documents for e-filing are required in PDF format. When you upload your documents on Green Filing, our application automatically converts your file to a PDF for your convenience.
3. Know The Court-Specific Guidelines
Each jurisdiction may have unique e-filing requirements or technical specifications like file size limits or time-specific deadlines. For example, Ventura courts accept same-day e-filings until 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Also, note that courts sometimes reformat case numbers. You will want to review your local rules as needed.
