The Kane County Circuit Clerk’s Office is alerting users that the eFile service for court documents will be unavailable for access from noon Friday, June 28, through 8 a.m. Monday, July 1.

The down time is needed to update the eFileIL system for fee changes that were mandated as a result of Public Act 100-987. The fee changes go into effect July 1, 2019.

During that time period from noon Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, Kane County filers will be unable to submit documents to the court through eFileIL, according to a news release from Kane County Circuit Clerk Thomas Hartwell’s office.

However, filers will be permitted to file paper documents locally at the appropriate clerk’s office during regular business hours without needing to submit a Certificate of Exemption from the e-Filing form.

The Illinois Supreme Court mandated electronic filing of all court documents for civil cases in the Circuit Court effective Jan. 1, 2018. The eFileIL system allows court documents to be filed electronically through through a single, centralized electronic filing manager.
