E-SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF REPRESENTED PARTIES Pursuant to the Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.516, self-represented parties involved
in any type of case in any Florida court, may, but are not required to, serve on the opposing party's attorney court documents by e-mail. E-mqil Service to/from an Opposme Party:
Self-represented parties optmg to serve court
documents by e-mail may do so bydesignating a primary e-mail address (and up to 2 secondary e-mail addresses) for receiving service in that proceeding. This designation only informs the other side of your email address. Once a party has filed an e-mail address designation in a proceeding, all court documents required orpermitted to be served on a party must be served by e-mail unless the parties otherwise agree or a courtorders otherwise. E-Mail Service jfrom Participating Judges: Self-represented parties who want to receive court orders and other court documents from judges who use e-mail service MUST register with the 15th Judicial Circuit's online services system at www.l5thcirciiit,com/html/oiiluieservices. You will NOT receive court documents from participating judges unless and until you register with the 15th Judicial Circuit's online system.
Form of Email: E-mail service is made by attaching a copy of the document to be served in PDF format to an e-mail. The e-mail's subject line must state "SERVICE OF COURT DOCUMENT"
in all capital letters, followed by the case number ofthe relevant proceeding. The body ofthe email must identify the: (1) court in which the proceedmg is pending; (2) case number; (3) name of the initial party on each side; (3) title of each document served with that e-mail; (4) sender's name; (5) sender's telephone number. The e-mail and attachments together may not exceed 5 megabytes in size; e-mails that exceed the size requirement must be divided into separate e-mails (no one of which may exceed 5 megabytes) and labeled sequentially in the subject line. Documents served by e-mail may be signed by "/s/", "/s" or "s/" as long as the document filed withthe Clerk's Office is signed in accordance withthe applicable rule of procedure.
Service Dates: Service by e-mail is deemed complete on the date it is sent. E-mail service is treated asservice by mail for the computation oftime. When, in addition to service by e-mail, the sender also utilizes another means of service provided for in the Rules of Judicial Administration, the computation of time will be based on the method of service that has the shortest response time.
Filing of Documents: The Rules of Judicial Administration require that all documents be filed with the court either before service on the opposing partyor immediately thereafter. Dociraients
are deemed filed when they are filed with the clerk of court. If the sender learns that the e-mail did not reach the address of the person to be served, the sender must immediately send another
copy by e-mail, or serve by a means authorized by subdivision (b)(2) of the Rules of Judicial Administration. Instructionsfor E-Service Registration forSelf RepresentedUtigants, (06/13)
