Yes, the initiating document and fee waiver application will be processed at the same time. These documents must be submitted in the same transaction. The FW-003 Order on Court Fee Waiver (Superior Court) is not eligible to be eFiled and should not be submitted.

If the document you are filing is not specified in the list of document names, you must use the name of the document that most closely describes your filing. You may also use a generic document name with a name extension and fill in the name extension field. 

The correct filing document name is extremely important as it determines the appropriate fee and court workflow. The Court's Civil webpage contains a list of filing document names that are available to be eFiled.

Please note: Using an incorrect document name or name extension can result in either a rejected filing or the incorrect routing of your document.

Processing time will depend on the type of document filed. The Court strives to review and process all documents submitted via eFiling within three business days. Some documents require further review and/or further action by the Court and may take longer than three days to process.

For hearings held in the law and motion departments, Department 53 and Department 54, hearing dates are reserved through the Court Reservation System (CRS) in the online Portal. For courtrooms that do not use CRS, you must call the department to inquire about hearing date reservations.
