Unfortunately, we can only store documents for a limited time, which varies depending on the court. Once the link for a filing expires on our site, it also expires in our system, for us. We recommend contacting the court directly to see about obtaining a copy of the filing, as we cannot restore expired filings on the eFile website.
- NOTE: If the envelope that the filing is part of is rejected, the filer can copy the envelope, then download the documents from the Summary section of the copied draft even after the link has expired.
Users in the states of Texas, California, Illinois, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, New Mexico, and the Tribal Courts can visit filenow.me to look for case records on their re:Search sites.
Expired Times are subject to change. These are for accepted document links.

If the eService link expires, you will need to contact the party that served the document to you and ask them for another copy. Service-Only filings will not appear in re:Search, however.
