Question 1

What number do I use to fax the Florida Supreme Court?

Accepted Answer

The clerk's fax line is 850-414-1246. Before sending anything, confirm with the clerk's office that the document you have may be filed by fax rather than through the eFiling Portal.

Question 2

Is fax still an accepted way to file with the Florida Supreme Court?

Accepted Answer

The court relies on its eFiling Portal for the bulk of filings. Fax is generally limited to emergency motions or situations where electronic filing cannot be used, so review the court's rules for your specific document.

Question 3

How is a fax filing deadline calculated at the Florida Supreme Court?

Accepted Answer

A fax received before midnight on the due date is typically treated as filed that day, but some procedural rules tie timeliness to close of business. Check the applicable rule and keep your transmission record as proof of when the court received the document.

Question 4

What needs to be on each page I fax to the clerk?

Accepted Answer

Put the case number at the top of every page. If a sheet gets separated from the rest, the case number is what allows the clerk to reunite it with your filing.

Question 5

Can I fax a brief to the Florida Supreme Court without a fax machine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send FAX Mail lets you transmit from your computer and returns a delivery confirmation you can keep alongside your filing record. Plans start at $12.99/mo with free number selection, and each tier includes a monthly page allowance — a busy appellate practice that exceeds it simply moves to a larger plan rather than paying per page. A 7-day free trial lets you file your first emergency motion before subscribing.
