Online10 stepsQuick e-FilingFile online through the Digital Case Diary, then carry the originals in. The e-filing date is what stops limitation — but the FR number only appears after the physical file is accepted.

Use this when

Nine case types only. You still carry the originals in afterwards — e-filing does not remove that visit.

Whichever route you take

The FR number is generated only once a physical file has been verified and accepted. e-Filing starts the limitation clock on the day you upload; it does not hand you an FR number.
