The instructions on how to use the Juvenile Filing Depository Boxes are as follows:

• Time stamp the original document on the upper right hand corner of the front page.
• It is the responsibility of the person who physically places the original document in the depository to make sure the date and time are legibly stamped on the document.
• If the date and time is illegible, or missing, we will affix the date and time our staff processes the document as the filed date and time.
• Any copies submitted with the original must be accompanied by a coversheet with specific routing instructions. Any copies needing to be mailed must include self-addressed envelope and proper postage.
• Attach the filing fee, if required, to the original document; (Either a money order with signature and address or *business check made payable to the Clerk of Court. (Do not deposit cash payments).
• * No personal checks accepted. A business check will only be accepted if it matches the business name of a party in the case or if submitted from a law firm, process server/runner service or certified document preparer.
• Secure the items with a clip or rubber band. Do not insert paperclips, binder clips or more than the front page of the document into the time clock document slot.
• Place the package in the Depository Filing Box Slot.
  (The slot opening is one-inch. Documents larger than one inch, should be grouped in sections such as "1 of 3," ""2 of "3," and "3 of 3.")

The Clerk’s Office collects the documents each morning. Staff then process the paperwork. Any documents that need to be routed must contain a coversheet with specific instructions. Documents that need to be mailed must include a self-addressed envelope and proper postage.
