Case Type Indexes and E-Filing Code Guides

This information is provided to help filers choose the correct case type when filing a new case in eFile and eServe (eFS) and the correct filing codes when filing a document. Both documents include recommended filing descriptions and the applicable document security levels. Use the indexes to choose the filing code that most accurately describes the filed document.

For each document filed, filers will need to specify the document's security level: public, confidential, or sealed. If a normally public document should be confidential or sealed, cite the specific legal authority in the Comments to Court field along with the security level. It is not necessary to cite legal authority when using public filing codes in a confidential juvenile delinquency case. If there is no legal authority to increase security, the lowest security level for that document type will apply. If a filer is filing a Confidential or Sealed document, it is recommended that they also file a CON112 Coversheet for Non-Public Documents.

It is important to file each document using a separate filing code. Do not combine documents. See Best Practices: eFS for Minnesota Filers for more detail.
