EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Effective January 1, 2026:
Declaration of Address Verification
A new mandatory form, Declaration of Address Verification (WG-015/EJ-135) has been published by the Judicial Council. The levying officer shall not accept or serve any writ, order, notice or other paper on any person, for personal debt, if the judgment creditor fails to provide this form pursuant to CCP 684.130 (2)(3).
Use of Judicial Council Forms
There have been several recent changes to Judicial Council forms. Pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 1.37, all Judicial Council forms must be submitted using the current, most recently adopted version. This includes non-mandatory forms. The use of outdated or superseded forms is not compliant. To ensure your documents are served in the timeliest manner, please ensure that you are using the most current Judicial Council forms. This included the SER-001 "Request for Sheriff to Serve Court Papers" and SER-001A "Special Instructions for Writs and Levies," which can be found below under "Letters of Instructions".
