New York Courts Request Public Comments on Mandatory Electronic Filing Proposal

Chief Administrative Judge Joseph A. Zayas, J.S.C., is soliciting public comments regarding the proposal to authorize mandatory e-filing in New York State Courts’ Electronic Filing System (“NYSCEF”).

The proposal would implement mandatory e-filing for all new probate, administration, and miscellaneous proceedings in the Surrogate’s Court of Bronx, Kings, Queens, and Richmond Counties. This would mandate e-filing in 61 of the 62 Surrogate’s Courts statewide, with New York County as the only exception. The proposed implementation, if approved, will take effect on or around June 30, 2026.

Persons wishing to comment on this proposal should e-mail their submissions to efilingcomments@nycourts.gov no later than June 24, 2026.

A copy of the request and all other proposals related to mandatory e-filing programs are also available on the Unified Court System’s website at this link.
