Return subpoenaed documents to the Registry electronically
A new NSW Subpoena Response service has been launched to enable subpoena respondents (producers) for Civil cases to submit subpoenaed items (text, image, audio, video or other data) electronically. This removes the need for hard copies to be sent by post, courier, or hand-delivered over the counter at the Registry.
The free, secure and efficient online service can be found at http://subpoenaresponse.justice.nsw.gov.au and is available to anyone who needs to return subpoenaed items to the Registry, as long as the subpoena received was issued via the Online Registry, and has a court item ID.
Uploading items
For online respondents to Civil cases, the NSW Subpoena Response service allows up to 50 individual files in any common electronic format to be uploaded, but the total size for each response should be no more than 3GB (gigabytes). However, producers may respond more than once per case if required.

Requesting access
Legal practitioners can access subpoenaed items from the Subpoenaed items list tab within the Online Registry Website when:
- Subpoenas have been submitted online through the new NSW Subpoena Response service https://subpoenaresponse.justice.nsw.gov.au
- Access orders have been granted – 1st access Plaintiff (7 days), 1st access Defendant (7 days) and General access.
- For other access orders, request access from the Registry to download and view subpoenaed items.
This means the majority of subpoenaed items can be accessed anywhere, anytime without the need for parties to attend the Registry to photocopy subpoenaed items, as well as saving time and money.

Maintain your profile information
As 2017 gets underway, the Online Registry would like to remind all registered users to update their user details under the ‘Manage Profile’ link in their Online Registry account.
Keeping your account details up-to-date is crucial to ensuring you get the most out of online services. This is especially important if you have been using online services for some time, which means you may have registered your account several years ago.
Ensuring you provide accurate information through your registered account is an important aspect of the ‘Terms of use’ in the Online Registry Terms and Conditions. These details can often be overlooked when changes occur, for example, if you have changed your email address, or the person monitoring the email address no longer works at your organisation.
This means any communications issued by the Online Registry after documents are filed online can be mis-directed, or returned to sender.
Finding your profile settings in your Online Registry account
We recently improved the look and feel of our website so that it is easier for you to manage your profile settings. After you Login to your account, it is easy to find the 'Manage Profile' link on the right hand side of the navigation menu.
Why you should update your contact details
If you don’t keep your profile up to date with your correct email address, you could be missing out on receiving important emails about your case when you file forms online. The Court may also need to send you notifications if details of your listing have to be changed, or time-sensitive orders are recorded.
For more details see What can you expect after you’ve filed a form? Or How do I manage my account settings? Or you can Search FAQs for any related information.
