REMOVING SECURITY FROM COURT FORMS FOR FILING ON eFileMaine
Instructions for MAC users
The electronic filing system will not allow the submission of documents protected by passwords
or other security settings. Therefore, before uploading your documents to eFileMaine, you must
remove any security from them.
All forms on the Judicial Branch forms website are password protected. When they are
downloaded for completion by a filer and subsequent uploading, the security will remain in place
and result in a failure of submission on eFileMaine.
To remove the security and successfully file court forms on eFileMaine, please follow the
procedure below.
Please note: to view and fill out MJB forms, you will need the free Adobe Reader.
