Alameda Superior Court · Frequently Used Forms
Verified current as of July 16, 2026
This form allows someone involved in a court case to ask permission to appear in court by phone instead of showing up in person. Anyone in an Alameda County court case — whether a party, attorney, or witness — who has a valid reason (like being out of state, having health issues, or caring for children) would use this form to request a remote appearance.
