German term or phrase: zur Akte zurück gelangt
Ein Nachweis über die Zustellung der Klage und Ladung des Beklagten ist bislang nicht zur Akte zurück gelangt.

Does anybody have a nice legalese way of putting this? Thanks

Explanation:
Literally, "has yet to make its way back to the file", which is a bit more colloquial, but may also be an appropriate translation depending on the context.

is not on record yet


Explanation:
You don't need legalese here.

Compare with this.
"However, the bench said that the affidavit is not on record yet."

agree  Adrian MM.: BrE: on the record /as / yet, though there may be a slight ambiguity of meaning with zur Akte zurückgelegt > filed away again.

agree  Birgit Gläser: can't follow Adrian, because the German says "zurückgelangt" as it made it's way back

has not been re-entered into the record as yet


Explanation:
May have been on record before, but any changes made require the word "re-enter"

disagree  Birgit Gläser: Nope, they mean they not yet have a confirmation that the defendant has been served... there is nothing changed or to re-enter there... this is normally sent by registered letter with a return postcard...

proof ... has not (yet) (been) filed


Explanation:
Literally: Proof of service of the action and summons from the defendant has not yet been returned to the file.

But what about 'not yet filed'?
It's the proof of action that is missing, not the letter.
