What the E-Filing Portal is
The Florida Courts E-Filing Portal is the statewide system for submitting documents to Florida circuit and county clerks. It is the only authorized e-filing channel for civil cases, including dissolution of marriage, across all 67 Florida counties.
Registering as a self-represented filer
Florida residents filing without an attorney register for a free self-represented account at myflcourtaccess.com. Registration requires a valid email address, a password, and basic contact information. Once verified, the account can submit filings in any Florida county.
Submitting a dissolution case
The typical sequence for a new uncontested divorce filing through the portal looks like this.
- Select 'File New Case' and choose Family, Dissolution of Marriage
- Choose the county (typically where either spouse resides)
- Upload PDFs of the petition, civil cover sheet, marital settlement agreement, and any parenting plan or child support worksheet
- Enter party information for both spouses
- Pay the county filing fee (set by your county; when we file for you it's collected with your order and we pay the Clerk of Court directly, and if you file yourself you pay it at the portal) by card or e-check
- Submit and receive an electronic confirmation
Document standards
Florida accepts PDF documents through the portal. Best practice is to use text-searchable PDFs, sign and notarize before scanning, keep file sizes under 25 MB per document, and use the Florida Supreme Court approved family law forms whenever possible. Non-conforming documents are returned by the clerk with a deficiency notice.
After filing
Once the clerk accepts the filing, the case is assigned a case number and judge division. Service on the responding spouse (or a waiver of service) is the next procedural step, followed by the final hearing scheduled by the clerk.
