Plain-English Summary
Section 6-604 sets the paperwork that has to travel in front of every fax filing. A fax transmission for filing must be preceded by an attached uniform cover sheet, the exact version of which the Nebraska Supreme Court has approved and made available as Appendix 1. That cover sheet is not just a formality — it carries information the clerk needs to process the filing correctly.
The cover sheet has to show the sender’s full name, address, telephone number, and fax number, and it has to state how many pages the transmission contains. All of that sender information must be typed or clearly printed, not scrawled by hand, so the receiving clerk can read it without guesswork.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information does a fax filing cover sheet have to include?
The sender’s full name, address, telephone number, and fax number, along with the number of pages in the transmission.
Where do I find the approved cover sheet form?
Section 6-604 refers to the Supreme Court-approved uniform cover sheet found as Appendix 1.
Can I fill out the cover sheet by hand?
The sender’s information has to be typed or clearly printed, so an illegible handwritten cover sheet would not satisfy the rule.
Why does a fax filing need a cover sheet at all?
It gives the receiving clerk the sender’s contact information and the page count up front, which helps confirm the transmission is complete and lets the clerk reach the sender if there is a problem.
Does the cover sheet count toward the page limit on fax filings?
No. Section 6-606 sets the 10-page transmission limit "excluding the cover sheet."
