# Can I file a restraining order online in Shasta County?

> How Shasta County Superior Court handles online domestic violence restraining-order filing: portals, EFSPs, self-represented rules, and official sources (2026-10-16).

**Direct answer.** No. Shasta County’s official materials do not describe EFSP/portal e-filing for the initial DVRO packet (no — email/fax only (not online e-file)). The court says a Request for DV Restraining Order may be filed by email, at no cost, with the forms in PDF format. Confirm the current intake method with the clerk before you file.
