Filing Status Definitions
Unfiled: An Unfiled filing is one that has not been sent out of GovLink yet. You can think of these are your In-Progress, or Draft filings. Only GovLink users with permissions to view this Filing can see, edit, sign, file, submit, or delete it. Once filed, the Filing’s status will change to Submitted.
Submitted: Submitted filings are those that have been submitted from GovLink to the Clerk/Court, but the Clerk/Court has not yet accepted or rejected them. The Filing is in the Clerk’s queue for review and processing times vary by Clerk/Court and may be dependent on their current workload. To check on the status of a Submitted Filing, contact your local Clerk’s office.
Accepted: Congratulations! Your Filing has been Accepted by the Clerk/Court.
Rejected: Filings may be rejected by the Clerk/Court for numerous reasons and each Clerk is given the option to type in the reason for rejecting the Filing at the time they reject it. The reason entered for rejection can be reviewed by clicking on the Rejected Filing and reviewing the ‘Court Response Note’ on the Summary tab. If you need additional clarification or direction, you may contact your Clerk.
