Filings Submission - Filer Overview and Download

Filer 4.07 is free software that makes it easy to file electronic documents with the PUC. Filer guides you through the submission process, gathering the basic filing information used to index the files for retrieval.

All documents longer than 10 pages shall be submitted electronically (accepted formats) using the Filer, in addition to the required number of paper copies that have to be filed in Central Records.

Only documents filed using the Filer can be made available on the Interchange. Additional filing information can also be found in the Filer FAQ. The standards governing both hardcopy and electronic submissions are detailed in PUC Procedural Rules § 22.71 and § 22.72.

Although the electronic documents may be sent in advance of the paper copy, they are not processed and added to the PUC Interchange On-Line Index of Filings until the paper copy is received and file-stamped in Central Records.
