Section 15 - Court Record(1) The clerk will print all eFilings and maintain a paper file in each case. The paper file will constitute the official court record.(2) Conventionally filed or court-generated documents may be scanned by the clerk. The original documents will be maintained in the paper file.(3) When the law requires the filing of an original document, such as a will, voucher, bond, oath, mortgage document, birth certificate, foreign judgment, or other certified or verified document, the eFiler must scan the original document and electronically transmit to the court the scanned document using the eFiling system. The eFiler must either (i) retain the original document in accordance with Section 18 of these rules; (ii) file the original document with the appropriate agency or officer as may be required by law; or (iii) file it conventionally with the court when necessary for actions involving original documents.(4) Electronic receipts may be generated for financial transactions. In the event a receipt is generated, the court's file copy shall be retained in electronic format.(5) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this Section, the Kentucky Supreme Court may designate pilot counties where the electronic court record may be designated as the official court record.Ky.
