Oakland County's eFiling is now hosted by MiFILE (powered by TrueFiling), where court documents of the 6th Judicial Circuit Court shall be eFiled. For Customer Care/Technical Support powered by Truefiling please email them or contact 1-855-959-8868. For Oakland County Clerk's Office eFiling assistance please contact 248-452-8643.

Below are a few notable changes to the new MiFILE:

• Every filer must register. A filer can "connect" with other users to file on behalf of others, to share filing history, and to share payment accounts.
  
• If Service is selected during file submission, service on the selected parties is made at the time of submission. The system will generate a Proof of Service document that will be filed into the court file.
• Payment is applied to the filer's credit card at the time of submission - if a document is rejected, the payment will be refunded.
  
• The submitted date will appear as the "received for filing" time stamped date of the document.
• Filings that are submitted up to 11:59 pm will be accepted as of that business day. Filings submitted after 11:59 pm on a Friday, or a weekend, or if submitted on a holiday, will be accepted the following business day.
• Statutory document filing fees are subject to a credit card transaction fee up to 3% - all other documents will not be charged any fees.
