CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — Filing a court claim in Iowa now only requires a computer.
As of July 1, Iowa courts have moved to a totally electronic, paperless filing system for records. Court documents can now be filed and viewed online.
Mason City television station KIMT reports that the clerk of courts office in Floyd County calls the move a welcomed change.
Floyd County judicial specialist Stacey Oleson says office workers are able to get electronic filings to judges faster and that the paperless system helps cases progress more quickly.
Floyd County courts have been paperless since February of last year.
