eFiling / eService

What is the deadline for E-filing? Can I request an extension?

E-Filed documents must be filed using the Agency's website before midnight in the time zone of the receiving office. NLRB Official Office Hours are listed in Appendix A to the Board's Rules and Regulations, which can be found under the "Publications" tab on the home page of the NLRB's website. Regional Office hours of operation can also be found here. Requests for extension of time are made by completing an online form.

Is technical assistance available after hours?

Agency personnel are not available after the close of regular business hours to assist parties with E-Filing. If you are having difficulty after hours, you may try using a different computer. Temporarily removing pop-up blockers and changing your spam filter to allow receipt of messages from nlrb.gov may expedite receiving a notification that your E-Filing has been received.

For consolidated cases, do I need to e-file my document separately under each case number?

No, it is sufficient to file solely under the lead (lowest) case number.

What documents can I E-file?

The E-filing system accepts most documents allowed under Board rules, including:

What if I forget my password?

If you forget your E-service password, simply go to mynlrb.nlrb.gov and in the log-in area, find a link that says "Forgot Password?" Click this link and enter your e-mail address. Your password will be reset and a new password will be sent to your e-mail address.

Where can I read the E-filing rules?

The E-Filing terms are available here. Also, after you enter a valid case number in the NLRB E-Filing System, a screen detailing these E-Filing terms will open. You will be asked to confirm that you have read and understood these terms before proceeding to file your document.

How do I get, and use, my PIN number?

PINs are not required for E-filing. They are used to request E-service.

Participants in active cases before the Board or the Division of Judges can obtain access to electronic information and receive early notification of filings and decisions in the case, but only if they register with the Agency to retrieve a PIN number.

Do I need to file multiple copies of documents filed electronically?

There is no need to file multiple copies of documents that you file electronically.

What is E-Service?

"E-Service" is the electronic service of final Board and ALJ decisions on parties to Board cases. Parties who register for E-Service will receive, immediately upon posting of the Board's daily E-Docket on its website, an e-mail constituting formal notice of the Board's or Judge's decision and an electronic link to the decision. E-Service notifications will be sent at the close of the business day at NLRB headquarters in Washington, D.C. (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Final Board and ALJ decisions will not be mailed to parties who sign up for E-Service.
