Verified current as of July 19, 2026

This form is used when a defendant in a court case cannot be found or located at their home address, allowing the court to notify them through newspaper publication instead of personal delivery. A person filing a lawsuit or case would need this form if they have made a good-faith effort to find the defendant but cannot serve them the traditional way.
