Do you need help finding what documents to file?

Option 2: If you don't find what you need on eFile Oregon Self-Help, visit Oregon Judicial Branch Court Forms to find the right forms. After you prepare your documents, follow the instructions in the next section to e-file.
Do you have your documents ready but need to e-file them?
