Court document mailing
Court document mailing guides
Mailing a court document is more than putting a PDF in an envelope. The clerk or division, case number, required copies, filing fee, service rules, physical enclosures, and deadline can all affect whether a packet is accepted.

- Mail probate or estate documents — completed probate filings and estate correspondence.
Before uploading
- Confirm that this court accepts this document by postal mail.
- Use the official clerk, division, judge, trustee, or other recipient address for the case.
- Check whether the rule turns on mailing, receipt, acceptance, or docketing.
- Include every required signature, case number, attachment, and redaction.
- Determine whether other parties require separate copies or a different service method.
- Use another mailing method if the packet needs a check, money order, wet-ink original, self-addressed stamped envelope, or physical exhibit.

FAQs
- Does mailing mean the document was filed?
- No. Carrier delivery is not the same as clerk acceptance or docket entry. Confirm through the official docket, clerk, or other court-provided record.
- Can PostalForm serve another party?
- You can create a separate, recipient-specific order after reviewing exactly which pages that person should receive. Whether mail is valid service depends on the rules for the case, recipient, method, timing, and proof.
- Can you include a filing fee?
- Not in these upload-first workflows. PostalForm cannot insert a check, money order, or other physical payment.
- Does Certified Mail satisfy court rules?
- It provides a mailing and tracking record when available. It does not override a court's required filing or service method.
- Can I mail confidential exhibits?
- Only after following the court's sealing, redaction, and restricted-filing procedures.
