I Certify That In The Above Entitled Action And Court, Judgment Was Entered On Form

Use a I Certify That In The Above entitled Action And Court, Judgment Was Entered On template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this court certification form does

This form records a signer’s certification that judgment was entered in the above-entitled action and court. In practice, the completed record connects the court caption, action or case information, judgment statement, signer’s identity, signature, and date. Upload the supplied form to signNow, review its fillable areas, place only the required fields, and send it to the authorized signer. The signer reviews the exact court language, signs, and receives a completed copy. Because court orders and official court filings fall within ESIGN exceptions, confirm acceptance with the relevant court before electronic filing.

Mobile options for this court form

The signNow mobile apps for iOS and Android let authorized users review and sign the court certification from a supported mobile device. Use the camera to capture a paper copy when preparing the document, then verify that the caption and judgment language remain legible before sending it.

  • Mobile signing iOS and Android apps
  • Offline access Offline signing support
  • Document capture Camera document capture

Organizations handling court records should use managed iOS or Android devices, controlled access, and documented retention procedures. Enterprise deployments can evaluate API access, SSO provisioning, and authentication controls against the court’s filing requirements. Mobile completion does not replace notarization, original-document rules, or in-person filing requirements imposed by applicable court or state law.

Record-keeping practices for this certification

A court certification should remain traceable to the case record, signer, completed document, and authority governing the underlying proceeding.

Preserve the court’s exact language

Keep the original court caption, docket information, judgment wording, and certification statement unchanged. Add fields around the supplied language rather than rewriting facts or inserting conclusions that do not appear in the court record.

Confirm signer identity and consent

Use the signer’s verified email address and require the signer to review the entire certification before signing. For consumer-facing records, provide the ESIGN disclosure and access to the electronic record under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).

Export the audit trail

Export the completed form with its audit trail, including the signing event and timestamps. Store both files together in a restricted matter folder so the signed certification remains connected to its supporting evidence.

Apply the governing retention rule

Retain the signed certification according to the court, matter, and applicable state-law schedule. Do not apply a generic tax or healthcare period unless the record is also governed by that specific authority.

Rules that may limit electronic completion

Signature may be rejected

Notarization required

Electronic copy may be insufficient

Court filing required

ESIGN exception may apply

Family law exclusion

Certification may lack evidentiary support

Original judgment required

Legal standing of electronic completion

An electronic signature on a court certification may be recognized under ESIGN and applicable state law when the signer intends to sign, consents to electronic records, and the record can be retained and reproduced. ESIGN exceptions include court orders and official court filings, so confirm the court’s acceptance rules before relying on electronic submission.

Troubleshooting this court certification

Resolve document, signing, compliance, and plan questions before treating the completed certification as ready for court review or filing.

Upload the original PDF again, then inspect the detected fields before sending. signNow’s Business plan includes templates and audit trails, but the sender remains responsible for confirming that the caption, judgment statement, and signature placement match the court-issued form.

Business Premium includes bulk send, but this court certification should generally be routed only to the signer identified by the matter. Use an individual invite or a controlled link so another recipient cannot complete the wrong certification.

signNow supports ESIGN and UETA compliance, but those laws do not override exclusions for court orders and official court filings. Ask the relevant clerk or court about accepted electronic formats before filing this document electronically.

Use signNow’s audit trail to review authentication, timestamps, and completion history, then export it with the signed form. The audit trail supports evidence of the signing event but does not prove the judgment’s underlying facts.

HIPAA compliance applies when the document contains protected health information and a business associate agreement is required. A court certification without PHI does not become a HIPAA record merely because it was signed electronically.

The Business plan is listed at $8/user/month when billed annually and includes legally binding eSignatures and audit trails. Business Premium is listed at $15/user/month annually and adds bulk send; verify the selected plan’s controls before deployment.
