Filing a Statement of Claim via Fast-Track Procedure in the Magistrate Court

• The application may be submitted via the Net HaMishpat website by attorneys only.
• Preparation and Technical Requirements: Ensure all documents are scanned and saved in PDF format only. Each individual file must not exceed 30 MB.
• Use a desktop or laptop computer; the website is not optimized for mobile browsing.
• Access the site using the National Digital Identity button or a Smart Card.
• Upon logging in, ensure you are identified as an attorney. Your Attorney License Number should be displayed in the upper-left corner rather than your personal ID number.
  • If your ID number is displayed, click the small arrow next to the number to switch profiles.
  • If the arrow does not appear and you cannot select your license number, you may not be registered in the Net HaMishpat database. To register, complete the online registration form by visiting the Net HaMishpat homepage and clicking the link at the bottom center: "Add New Attorney."

Submission Steps

• Click the "Open Case" (פתיחת תיק) button.
• Select the required fields (Court, Case Type, etc.).
• Check the "Power of Attorney" (ייפוי כוח) box.

If you wish to pay via Direct Debit Authorization rather than credit card, you must select this option at the "Power of Attorney" stage. It cannot be changed later. To select this option:

1. Click the "Counsel Details" (פרטי בא כוח) button.
2. Navigate to the "Bank Account" tab and verify the billing details:
   • Enter the bank account information and click "Verify Data" (אימות נתונים).
   • The account details must match the firm’s account information currently registered in Net HaMishpat.
   • If the details do not match, you must update them in the system. Click here for instructions.

If paying by credit card or if you have a fee waiver, you do not need to click the "Counsel Details" button.

Uploading Appendices

• Additional documents can be uploaded via the dedicated "Browse" (עיון) button under the heading "Attach Supporting Documents" (צירוף מסמכים נלווים).
