Then you will need to

  1. Print it out
  2. Make copies for all the parties in the case
  3. Have someone over 18 - NOT you - mail a copy to the other party or parties. The person who mails the form is the "sever." The server fills out page 2 of the original Notice of Change of Address. Make another copy of the now-complete Notice and
  4. File the completed original and the copy at the Court where your case was heard - see list of courthouses.
  5. Keep the filed copy for your records.
