Notice Regarding Electronic Service {CR-CV-FM-255}

CR-CV-FM-255 - NOTICE REGARDING ELECTRONIC SERVICE. This form is used in the Maine Judicial Branch to allow self-represented parties in a legal case to opt in to receive service of documents electronically from other parties. While attorneys are automatically required to follow the electronic service rules under the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure and Unified Criminal Procedure, individuals without attorneys are served by regular mail unless they choose to receive documents via email using this form. By completing and signing the form, a self-represented litigant consents to being served by email and confirms that they meet specific requirements—such as having daily access to a reliable email account with sufficient storage and the ability to receive attachments. The form clarifies that this consent applies only to service by other parties, not to court filings or communications from the court itself. It also notes that parties can only serve documents by email if all involved have opted in and can produce digital (.pdf) copies of their filings. The completed form is not filed with the court but must be shared with all other parties in the case. www.FormsWorkflow.com
