On January 25, 2021, the Justice Services Online (JSO) platform will be expanded to enable online filing of Small Claims Court (SmCC) documents that cannot currently be filed through Service Ontario’s Small Claims Online platform. Almost 70 additional SmCC documents will be eligible for filing through JSO to make it easier and more convenient for Ontarians to file SmCC documents during the COVID-19 outbreak and beyond.
By making it possible to submit most court documents online, the Ministry of the Attorney General is increasing efforts to protect the health and safety of Ontarians by reducing the need to attend a courthouse in person. We encourage you to use JSO to avoid unnecessary visits to Ontario courthouses. Users can pay court fees online securely by debit or credit card. Users can also use JSO to request a fee waiver certificate or submit documents with an existing fee waiver certificate.
Getting Access
To access Justice Services Online, users are required to sign in to ONe-key and create a JSO account. ONe-key is a unique electronic credential that allows you to communicate securely with online government services. Setting up your ONe-key ID is fast and simple. Click here to learn more.
The ministry will enhance the service based on user feedback. If you have any questions or would like to provide feedback about the service, please contact Peter O’Keefe (Peter.OKeefe@ontario.ca), Director, Project Implementation Branch, Ministry of the Attorney General.
