Secretary of State Scott Gessler announced on October 30, 2012, that he would drop online filing fees for notaries public from $10 to $1 starting November 1 and continuing through the end of the fiscal year. The fee reduction is for notaries who file for the first time or renew online; it is meant as an acknowledgment of the efficiency and convenience of online filing.

The fee reduction is expected to reduce revenue to the Secretary of State’s office by $200,000. The fee reduction will continue until the end of the fiscal year, and will be re-evaluated quarterly from that point on.

New Colorado Courts E-Filing System to Launch January 1, 2013

July 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment

New E-Filing System: On January 1, 2013, the Colorado Judicial Branch’s new Integrated Colorado Courts E-Filing System (ICCES) will replace LexisNexis File & Serve. As of that date, all electronic filings for civil cases in the district, county, and appellate courts of Colorado will be made through the new ICCES program.

The State Judicial website has videos giving an overview of ICCES and a basic demonstration of filing a new case. Additionally, a new Pricing Model Sheet is available to review.

Pilot: On October 1, 2012, the Colorado Courts will begin the live transition from LexisNexis File & Serve to ICCES. Select judicial districts will pilot ICCES from October 1 through December 31. Pilot courts will require all e-filings be made through the ICCES system during this three-month period. Non-pilot courts will still require that all filings be made through LexisNexis. On January 1, 2013, the pilot will end and all judicial districts will fully transition to ICCES. To learn more about the pilot schedule, click here.

ICCES Account Pre-Registration: Law firms and agencies will need to register their organizations and request user accounts for ICCES. Pre-registration can be completed by clicking here.

Training: The Judicial Branch will begin ICCES training this August. Trainings will also be announced on the Judicial Branch website. To learn more about training opportunities, click here.

Stay informed about the ICCES transition by visiting the Colorado Judicial Branch’s E-Filing website, where regular updates will be posted.

E-mail ICCES-Feedback@judicial.state.co.us for any questions about the transition to ICCES.
