The Justice Court and Department of Enforcement have launched digital delivery of enforcement warrants instead of paper, enhancing security, speeding up processes, and facilitating justice for the public.
On 23 Sep 2026 at 10:00 AM in Meeting Room 701 of the Justice Court Office building, Mr. Paophan Chopnamtan, Deputy Secretary-General of the Justice Court Office, together with Mr. Seksan Suksang, Director-General of the Department of Enforcement, jointly held a press conference to officially launch the electronic enforcement warrant data linkage system (API) between the Justice Court Office and Department of Enforcement. This initiative marks a full digital transformation of the justice process, moving from paper document delivery to secure, precise electronic data transmission via API. It drives government innovation aligned with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on electronic information linkage signed on 26 Dec 2017, aiming to modernize, make flexible, and seamlessly connect legal workflows across government agencies using modern technology.
Mr. Paophan said the Justice Court Office and Department of Enforcement jointly developed the enforcement warrant data linkage system via API to support a digital workflow by electronically sending enforcement warrants to the Department instead of paper forms. This action aligns with the MOU on electronic cooperation between the two agencies. The API-based system offers benefits of convenience, speed, and reduced budget-related expenses, enabling the public to receive justice services quickly and efficiently. It also upgrades the use of documents into electronic data formats.
Regarding legal documents in the justice process, this system serves as a guideline to boost confidence in using electronic documents and signatures in other sectors.
"The enforcement warrant data linkage via API allows the Justice Court Office to send electronic enforcement warrants directly to the Department of Enforcement instead of paper documents. This facilitates the Department’s duties securely and conveniently, ensuring no alteration occurs to the Justice Court’s database information, with strict confidentiality maintained. The data will not be used commercially or for other benefits. There are also plans for joint studies to develop additional data linkages in the future. This is a significant step in promoting trust and standardizing the use of electronic documents and signatures in justice processes. In 2025, the Justice Court received 623,613 enforcement petition filings through the e-filing system, averaging 51,968 monthly submissions, all processed online without paper," Mr. Paophan said.
However, this cooperation is a crucial mechanism to eliminate unnecessary steps, shorten processing times, and concretely protect the rights and interests of stakeholders. It also lays the foundation for sustainable collaboration between government agencies to meet public service needs in the digital era.
