The fax filing pilot project is piloting the option of transmitting certain civil court documents by fax to a number of court registries across B.C. Documents that you can send to the registry by fax include many Supreme Court Civil, Provincial Court small claims and Provincial Court family documents. Court Services Branch is offering this new service to provide another, convenient way to deliver documents to the registry.

Court Services Branch is also introducing the use of credit cards in the 14 fax filing pilot project registries. You now have the convenience of using your VISA or MasterCard (and in Prince George only, your BC OnLine account) to pay applicable registry services fees (such as small claims fees or the fee for commencing a proceeding) when transmitting your documents to the registry by fax.

The fax filing pilot project has been extended to July 1, 2010 for Provincial Court. No end date has been stipulated for Supreme Court. The documents that may be transmitted to the registry by fax and the procedures for faxing remain unchanged. Court Services Branch will be evaluating the project's success to decide whether to continue or further expand the service. (Users of the service may be contacted for feedback on the pilot project. The identity of individuals involved in the evaluation of the pilot will remain confidential.)
