After Hours Emergency Filings Only (All Divisions)


The emergency filing service gives pro se litigants a limited opportunity to preserve a new petition file date via fax as long as the original documents and fees are received at the Pensacola or Tallahassee courthouse by noon on the next business day.

This service:
• Does not go into effect unless it is before or after business hours (9am - 4pm local time);
• Does not allow pro se litigants to file documents outside of normal business hours; and
• Does not allow pro se litigants to receive a case number over the phone.

For assistance during operational hours, please call 866-639-4615 or 850-521-5001.

Deadlines qualifying for emergency treatment include those having to do with an immediate foreclosure hearing, repossession of a vehicle or other immediate court action that will negatively impact a person or their possessions.

Before utilizing this service, callers with Internet access are required to review the following resources available at www.flnb.uscourts.gov or by clicking the links provided below:

•  Filing Requirements
•  Filing Fees

Callers may also want to review the court’s Forms page.

Upon completion of your review, call 850-521-5020 and leave a message providing the following information. Note that your call cannot be returned unless the information below is communicated in a clear manner:

• Your name
• Your Phone Number
• Nature of the emergency
• Date of the impending court hearing or deadline

Your call will be returned by a member of Clerk’s Office staff who will discuss your situation with you. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Clerk’s Office employees are barred from providing legal advice.)

You will then be required to cause your completed and signed original documents with fee payment to be delivered to the Tallahassee or Pensacola Bankruptcy Court Clerk’s Office prior to noon local time on the next business day subsequent to the date of the call. Documents received after the filing deadline will be stamped with the current date instead of the date of the call.

Note that Bankruptcy filings sent by mail should be addressed to the Tallahassee division. Filings to be presented in person may be delivered to the Tallahassee or Pensacola divisions.

Filings are not accepted at the Gainesville or Panama City district court Clerk's Offices.
