File through the right route.

CourtForms generates documents and helps you keep records. It does not submit a claim to HMCTS or decide whether a court will accept it.

  1. Check the correct process. The N1 is a civil claim form. An online money claim route may be available. Different claims and courts have different procedures.
  2. Review your completed document. Check names, service addresses, amounts, particulars and supporting material. Review the statement of truth yourself before signing.
  3. Check the current fee and filing instructions. Use the official guidance below to confirm how and where to submit your documents. Do not assume a court accepts email filing.
  4. Keep the acknowledgement. Add the court reference and confirmation to your claim. A downloaded or emailed form has not necessarily been filed or issued.
  5. Record later steps. Save service confirmations, responses and further forms. Amending or refiling an issued claim may require permission or a further fee.
