ABSTRACT:
A document filing method and system is disclosed that utilized has: a user interface display connected to a server in electronic communication with at least one remote compute engine with URL capability, the server being adapted to receive and display an electronic copy of a document submitted from a remote location for filing with the user of the server; an electronic stamping apparatus adapted to impart an electronic stamp on the submitted document responsive to a user input through the user interface; a database in electronic communication with the server and the user interface is adapted to store the document after the electronic stamp is imparted to the document; and a communication device is adapted to transmit an electronic copy of the document to the submitter with electronic stamp imparted to the electronic copy of the document. The electronic stamp can indicate that the document is accepted or rejected. The system can provide for an electronic fee payment mechanism. A security mechanism includes limiting the software for imparting the electronic stamp to the electronic copy of the document being filed to running on the server only, without upload to any other compute engine, and limiting access to the server to at least one authorized user uniquely identified to the server prior to use of the electronic stamp. Assuring authenticity of the electronic stamp by storing the electronic document in a form that limits access and/or modification.
