How are NYSCEF documents signed?
The filing of a document by a registered user with that user’s ID and Password is deemed by the NYSCEF regulations to be an act of “signing”, including for purposes of Part 130.1. If a filing user files a document, such as an affidavit, that was signed by someone else, such as the user’s client, the act of filing by the user is a representation that the filing user possesses the original signed affidavit and agrees to produce it upon request. A filing user can also file a PDF image of a signed document.
