When e-filing a new case, there a specific requirements as outlined below: 

• Ensure that you enter all parties (Defendants/Respondents) as a party and include addresses. Failure to enter all Defendants/Respondents will result in a delay in issuing summonses.

• The Florida Supreme Court prohibits the clerk from changing the filings accepted. Please ensure that you are selecting the correct/appropriate documents for your filings. A copy of the opinion is here: https://www.myflcourtaccess.com/ssc/api/newsitem.sscniatt?newsItemId=1261
