to electronically serve other parties in the case. It is a file and serve system
(or high level email system). It integrates with the case management system by inserting
data into SJIS and importing documents into AlaVault. It allows Attorneys who are
registered with AlaFile to electronically receive notice of opposing counsel’s efiled
documents and Orders entered by the Judge on their cases. AlaFile is available in
all Civil Divisions (SM, CV, DR, CS, and DV) and is online in all 67 Counties for
Phase 1 - Motions Menu and all Counties are online to file in Phase 2 - Complaints,
Discovery, and Miscellaneous Menu with a few exceptions. At this time, not every
filing is available to be efiled using AlaFile. However, we are adding new menus
on a consistent basis. If the document that needs to be efiled is not listed or
is grayed out, that means that the filing is not available to be efiled at this
time. Those documents may be paper filed at the Circuit Clerk’s office.

electronic credit card payments.
- In criminal cases (traffic, district criminal, and circuit criminal) that do not require a mandatory appearance by the defendant,
AlaPay allows defendants to pay fees (costs and fines) on cases prior to their court
date in one of the three following ways:
- b. Self-Pay – Telephone – 877-252-7294

circuit judge, accept credit cards for the payment of court assessments, fees (including
filing fees), costs, fines, and forfeitures. Payments by credit card will not be
accepted for restitution, child support, or alimony, or for monies ordered to be
paid to a third party.
- Convenience Fee: Payments for Traffic, District or Circuit Criminal incur a 4% convenience fee that allows the credit card to be processed
at no cost to the Alabama Judicial System. Payments for civil cases filed via AlaFile
(e-filing) process incur a 4% convenience fee as well.

eCitations (http://esearch.alacourt.gov )
- Overview: The Alabama statewide electronic citation project, initiated in 2002 with funding from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, involves administering traffic citations electronically with a laptop-based system. It has grown rapidly and now includes the entire Alabama Department of Public Safety (State Troopers) and has recently included many local police agencies to include Sheriff Offices and Municipal Police Officers across the State of Alabama. In 2006, legislation was passed to eliminate the requirement for the defendant's signature on the ticket, and to permit biometric authentication of the Officer and Magistrate for the purpose of swearing the ticket via a touch - screen Kiosk located in each Circuit Clerks Office across the State. It is no longer necessary to produce a paper ticket at all. The defendant receives a receipt-sized 'notice to appear' with the ticket number and the court date information at the scene. The Officer electronically uploads the ticket to the eCitation server where it is available to be sworn in via a biometric based authentication process. Once sworn, the ticket enters the Clerk's Case Management system (SJIS) where it receives a unique court case number.
