Enter your CVC code to check eligibility for Trial by Written Declaration.

Most California infractions qualify for Trial by Written Declaration. Misdemeanor charges, DUI, and hit-and-run are not handled by written declaration. See what we handle.

Enter your court date to see a suggested date to mail your trial by written declaration request.

Under California Rules of Court, rule 4.210, your request (and bail, if your court requires it) is due by the due date on your notice, or a later date the court gives you. The mail-by date above is 5 days earlier to leave time for the mail; it is not a court rule. Check your notice for your court's steps. Learn how TBWD filing works.
