Gather the case documents in Notfy: public filings, or the full case files (public and restricted) using the lawyer’s digital certificate.

​
When to use

  • To keep the case filings stored with the customer.
  • To consult restricted case files without logging in to the court’s website.

​
Before you start

  • A registered case. See Add a case.
  • For full case files: a registered e-CPF or e-CNPJ digital certificate (.pfx or .p12).
  • Query balance, when the chosen option has a cost. The window itself shows the cost of each option before you confirm.

​
Register the digital certificate

The administrator chooses how the certificate is used, in the Notfy Processos integration, Digital Certificate (Full Case Files) section, Certificate Mode field: In per-user mode, the certificate is under Users, in the person’s record, Legal Processes tab, Personal Digital Certificate (.pfx or .p12) field. The tab shows Certificate registered when one already exists.
