For registered users filing through CM/ECF, a certificate of service is not required if all service was through CM/ECF. If any service was accomplished outside CM/ECF, a certificate of service is required certifying the date and manner of service and the names and addresses of persons served outside CM/ECF. For sealed documents, a certificate of service is included on the Certificate of Confidentiality form for this purpose.
Parties not filing through CM/ECF must file a certificate of service with their document certifying the date and manner of service and the names and addresses of persons served outside CM/ECF. Service on a party represented by counsel must be on all counsel of record, except as provided by rule or order. Fed. R. App. P. 25(b).
If service was by fax or e-mail, the certificate must provide the fax number or e-mail address of the person served. Fed. R. App. P. 25(d). When a brief or appendix is filed by mailing or dispatch, the certificate of service must also state the date and manner by which the document was mailed or dispatched to the clerk. Fed. R. App. P. 25(d)(3).
