San Bernardino Superior Court To Discontinue Filesubmit in Small Claims & Landlord Tenant Cases

Public Notice

Release Date: May 13, 2026

SAN BERNARDINO, CA The San Bernardino Superior Court will discontinue the use of FileSubmit for Small Claims and Landlord Tenant cases beginning May 28, 2026.

 

As the court continues to transition to eFile, FileSubmit will no longer be available for filings or payments associated with Small Claims and Landlord Tenant cases. These case types are supported via eFile, which provides a more comprehensive, standardized electronic filing experience.

Impact on Court Users

FileSubmit was originally implemented as a secure option to allow court users to submit documents and payments electronically, replacing fax filing and ensuring compliance with credit card security requirements. As eFile functionality has expanded, the need for FileSubmit in Small Claims and Landlord Tenant cases has been eliminated.

Effective May 28, 2026, filings and payments for Small Claims and Landlord Tenant cases must be submitted through eFile or other approved filing methods, such as in person or through the mail.  

This change impacts litigants and attorneys who currently use FileSubmit for Small Claims and Landlord Tenant cases.

For more information on eFile and alternative filing options, please visit the court’s website.
