Narrative:
After receiving my WX briefing and filing an IFR flight plan, I departed from runway 31 at ZZZ with the intention of receiving my clearance once airborne and before entering IMC or controled airspace. Before entering IMC or controled airspace, I radioed ZZZ ATC for my clearance. Upon contact, ZZZ TRACON informed me that I must receive my clearance before departing the surface at ZZZ airport and asked me if I was aware of this. I replied I was not and apologized, then immediately returned to the surface. Once I landed, I received my clearance from ZZZ departure, then departed and resumed my flight as cleared. I do not remember receiving a NOTAM stating these special pick-up procedures.
