File conclusions, exhibits, petitions and letters with the registry of almost every Belgian court, in a single operation, straight from your office. One way, one click: the registry, opposing counsel and third parties all receive your filing at once. Built by the Belgian bars for lawyers, connected one-to-one with e-Deposit.
Send one filing to the registry, to opposing counsel and to third parties at the same time. One operation covers the whole case.
Log in with eID or itsme® as a registered lawyer. Every filing is unmistakably sent by a lawyer, with up-to-date court and lawyer addresses.
File whenever it suits you, evenings and weekends included. Every delivery is confirmed by a detailed dispatch certificate.
All incoming and outgoing filings stay stored and searchable by date, roll number, reference or status, and can be downloaded at any time.
DPA-Deposit is the court-filing application of the DPA platform. It is a one-way channel: you send, the registry receives. It lets you handle every document in a case in a single operation:
Because the application runs on the DPA platform, you always work with the most recent address details of courts and lawyers. You can also give your staff a mandate to use the application on your behalf.
Every document you send is traceable, and its receipt is confirmed by a detailed dispatch certificate. Inside DPA-Deposit you keep an overview of all your cases and of every incoming and outgoing filing. All sent and received documents are searchable by date, roll number, reference or status, and can be downloaded whenever you need them.
Clear screens and smart defaults take the friction out of filing, so you spend your time on the case, not on the paperwork.
Introductory acts stand out from other filings, and the (provisional) roll number is created automatically.
Launch a new filing straight from a case you already have: recipients, references and other details are pre-filled.
Filings received from fellow lawyers and your own outgoing filings each have their place, and “Cases” shows every transaction in one view.
Working for several firms? Switch from one office to the other without logging in again.
Since June 2025 every DPA user logs in through CSAM with the Belgian eID or itsme®. Your national register (or BIS) number must be registered with your bar.
Select the court, add recipients and upload your documents from your office environment. DPA-Deposit fills in the addresses.
Give assistants a mandate so they can prepare and send filings on your behalf, while you keep the overview.
Settings & mandates (PDF)Manuals and FAQs are currently available in Dutch and French.
e-Deposit is the federal filing channel built for citizens and businesses; since the Council of State ruling of 12 December 2019 lawyers can use it too. DPA-Deposit is the lawyer’s gateway to that same channel, connected one-to-one with e-Deposit, but with what a law firm needs on top: one filing to the court, fellow lawyers and third parties at once, up-to-date court and lawyer addresses, a searchable archive of everything sent, delegation to assistants, integration with your practice-management software and support from the DPA Service Desk.
Almost every Belgian court that accepts electronic filings through e-Deposit. DPA-Deposit is connected one-to-one with e-Deposit, so your filing lands in the registry’s own application.
