  • Motions and briefs
  • Case correspondence
  • Emergency filings
  • Attorney appearance forms

Tip: Confirm with the Clerk's Office whether your filing can come in by fax at all, since the Court of Appeals leans heavily on electronic submission.

Faxing to New York Court of Appeals — FAQ

The court doesn't publish a single fax line for general filings. Contact the Clerk's Office in Albany to ask whether fax is an option for your specific filing and what number to use.

The court relies on its electronic filing system for most documents. Fax tends to be limited to particular circumstances the clerk permits, so ask before assuming you can fax a brief or motion.

Where fax is permitted, a document received before the deadline usually counts as filed that day, but the Clerk's Office sets the exact rule. A delivery confirmation from Send FAX Mail gives you a timestamped record showing when your pages went through.

Include the case number, the parties, your name and firm, and a count of the pages being sent. This lets the Clerk's Office route the filing correctly and confirm nothing is missing.

Plans start at $12.99/month with a monthly page allowance that covers a typical motion or brief to the Albany clerk; if a busy term outgrows it, you move to a larger plan rather than paying per page. Number selection is included at no charge, so you can have a dedicated fax line ready before your next filing, and a 7-day free trial lets you send one first.
