Where to mail a trial by written declaration request

The court address printed on your ticket or courtesy notice is the one to use. If you are not sure, check with the court before you mail.

Your deadline

The due date on your citation or courtesy notice is the date that counts. Under California Rules of Court, rule 4.210, your request (and bail, if your court requires it) is due by that date, or a later date the court gives you.
