EDIT A PENDING PT-61 E-FILING HELP

Need help Editing a Pending PT-61 E-Filing?

To repeat the information from the overview page:
  • When you first start the retrieval process you are presented with two options. Option one allows you to Create a New PT-61 based upon an existing filing. Option two allows you to Edit a Pending PT-61.
  • You can choose to Edit a Pending PT-61 to edit an existing but un-filed PT-61 to correct errors or add data. The original PT-61 number WILL BE DELETED and a NEW PT-61 NUMBER will be assigned. It is your responsibility to discard the old PT-61 after editing and file the new PT-61 document number at the courthouse! If you incorrectly selected the Edit Pending PT-61 option when you were trying to Create a New PT-61 form, your filing will be rejected and you may be required to re-file correct forms at the county!
  • You may want to use this feature if you have submitted a PT-61 and discover that some of the information is incorrect. Editing the filing will allow you to correct the mistakes and render the original filing invalid.
