Order for Publication of Citation
Imperial Superior Court · Court Local Forms
Verified current as of July 25, 2026
This form is used when someone needs to notify a defendant in a court case but cannot locate them to serve papers in person, so the court allows the notice to be published in a newspaper instead. A person filing a lawsuit would need this form when they've made a good faith effort to find the defendant through normal means but cannot find their current address or location.
This form must be printed and filled by hand, or opened in Adobe Acrobat.
