What you need for Respond to a Notice of Delinquency
The Office of Jury Commissioner (OJC) sends Notices of Delinquency periodically by mail to anyone who:
- Doesn't respond to a jury duty summons
- Responds to a summons but doesn't show up for jury duty
- Appears for jury duty but doesn't complete their jury service
- Doesn't respond to a Failure to Appear Notice
You'll need to explain why you didn't appear and either reschedule your service or provide proof for why you should be disqualified, such as a doctor's letter, by mail or fax. You can reschedule your juror service by calling the OJC at one of the phone numbers listed below.
All proof regarding your disqualification must be mailed or faxed to the OJC. If you send proof of disqualification, you’ll need to confirm that the OJC received and accepted it. If the OJC doesn’t accept your proof, your delinquency is not resolved. See the OJC’s fax number and mailing address below.
For more information on the proper proof of disqualification you’ll need to send the OJC to resolve your delinquency, please see Instructions for sending proof of disqualification from juror service.
