How Do I Create an eFile Account?

Follow these steps to create an eFile account.

You must have a user account to use PAAB's eFile system. 

  • Your username and password are part of your electronic signature. If a document requires a signature, then the document must be eFiled under the signing user's account (i.e. username and password). Documents should not be filed under a paralegal's or assistant's user account.
  • Some accounts may need to be approved by PAAB. Please allow 1 business day for account approval. You cannot file documents until your registration is approved.

By using eFile, you agree to receive electronic service of filings. The system sends email notifications to your registered email address; to read the filings you must log into eFile and open the documents. You should periodically log into the system to verify you haven't missed any filings in case email notifications were overlooked, deleted, or caught in spam.
