Prepare this
01 · What is this?

This worksheet helps you identify the court paper you need and prepare a copying request.

02 · When is it useful?

Use it when an ordinary downloaded order is insufficient for a particular purpose.

03 · Start here

Find the case number and order date, then check that court’s copying rules.

Gather your pieces

  1. Confirm the court, case number, order date and applicant’s permitted access.
  2. Distinguish certified, authenticated and downloaded copies; ask the receiving office what it needs.
  3. Check the named registry’s form, fees and route; Supreme Court procedures are not universal.
