Application, Declaration, and Order to Serve the Secretary of State

El Dorado Superior Court · Local Forms Required

Verified current as of July 28, 2026

This form is used when someone needs to serve legal documents on a business or organization through the California Secretary of State because the company cannot be found or doesn't have a local representative to receive papers. A person would need this form if they're suing a business and need to officially notify them of the lawsuit through the state government instead of delivering papers directly to the company.
