This form is used to show that someone was officially given a copy of a domestic violence court order or restraining order in person, so the court has proof the other person actually received it. The person who delivered the papers—like a sheriff, police officer, or any adult who isn't involved in the case—fills it out to confirm they handed it directly to the person being restrained.
This form must be printed and filled by hand, or opened in Adobe Acrobat.
