Kane County Specific Practices for eFile:

Envelope processing - all envelopes should be processed within 3 business days. Envelopes are processed in the order they were received.   If not processed in that timeframe, email CICOfficeOperations@KaneCountyIL.gov.

All Attorneys need to have registered their ARDC number with our office prior to eFiling. To register, click CS-002-E, complete and e-mail to circuitclerk@k​anecountyil.gov.​

Proposed Orders – to receive a filed stamped copy of the order back, please choose eFile and Serve and include Service Contacts in that file. No Adoption, J​uvenile or Criminal Orders are done in eFile.  

Court dates - If you need a court date to get in front of the judge, contact Scheduling at 630-232-3413, then complete your paperwork.

Divorce – Prove-Up (Judgment) envelopes – all documents necessary for the Prove-Up must be in the same envelope with each document being efiled using the code Proposed Order. Documents to include in the one envelope may be the affidavits, Judgment for Dissolution, Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA), Parenting Plan, to name a few. All documents must use the Proposed Order code, so that the whole envelope goes directly to the judge.  

Attaching Supporting documents – all supporting documentation to a Petition/Motion/Answer MUST to be behind that document and submitted as ONE (1) PDF. If that document is too large, it may be split; however, a Cover Sheet MUST be included as the first page which references Case Number, Case Names, and the Title of Document.  You can email CICOfficeOperations@KaneCountyIL.Gov for a sample one, if needed.     

PDF's - Each document with a header needs to be its own PDF. They cannot be combined as one PDF document.   

Rejected envelopes - If your envelope is REJECTED for any reason, and the submission date will affect your filing, you may use the “COPY ENVELOPE" feature if your eFiling Service provides that feature. This will ensure that you get your original date of submission.
