How to Fill Out California Form CIV-010 (w/Examples) + FAQs

You fill out California Form CIV-010 by entering the court information, the case caption, the names of the judgment creditor and judgment debtor, the case number, the type of examination, the location and date of the hearing, and the signature of the requesting party or attorney, then filing it with the court that issued the judgment and personally serving it on the person to be examined at least 10 days before the hearing under Code of Civil Procedure § 708.110. The form is the Application and Order for Appearance and Examination, and California courts use it to compel a judgment debtor or a third party to come to court and answer questions about money, property, or assets that can be used to pay a judgment.

Filling it out wrong, or skipping the strict service rules in CCP § 708.110(d), kills your hearing, wastes your filing fee, and forfeits the automatic lien that this form creates on the debtor’s personal property. According to the Judicial Council of California 2024 Court Statistics Report, more than 1.1 million civil cases were filed in California trial courts last year, and a large share of unpaid judgments end up requiring a debtor exam to collect.

What California Form CIV-010 Is and Why It Exists

California Form CIV-010, officially called the Application and Order for Appearance and Examination, is the Judicial Council form a judgment creditor uses to drag a judgment debtor or a third party into court for a sworn question-and-answer session about assets. The form lives on the official Judicial Council forms page and is approved for use under CCP § 708.110 for debtor exams and CCP § 708.120 for third-party exams.

The form exists because a money judgment by itself does not pay the creditor. The court does not collect for you. You have to find the money, the bank accounts, the wages, the cars, and the business interests yourself, and the debtor exam is the most powerful discovery tool the state gives you after judgment.

The exam is sometimes called an ORAP, short for Order of Examination, or a judgment debtor exam. The same CIV-010 form covers both the debtor version and the third-party version. You just check a different box on the face of the form.

The consequence of skipping this tool is simple. You stay unpaid. Most debtors do not voluntarily reveal where they bank, where they work, or where they hide cars and crypto, and without sworn testimony you cannot levy on those assets through a Writ of Execution (EJ-130) or a Memorandum of Garnishee (AT-167).

A common misconception is that filing CIV-010 is the same as collecting. It is not. The form only forces an appearance. You still have to ask the right questions at the hearing, then follow up with a levy, a wage garnishment, or a turnover order under CCP § 699.040.

The Statutory Backbone

The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692, sets the floor for how third-party debt collectors behave nationwide, but post-judgment collection in state court is governed by state procedure. In California, that means the Enforcement of Judgments Law (CCP §§ 680.010–724.260).

CCP § 708.110 authorizes the debtor exam and creates an automatic lien on the debtor’s personal property the moment the order is served. The plain-English meaning is that service of CIV-010 freezes the debtor’s non-exempt personal property in your favor for one year. Ignoring this lien is malpractice, because it is the single most valuable thing the form does.

The consequence of not understanding the lien is losing priority to other creditors. A real-world example is a Sacramento creditor who waits six months to serve CIV-010 while another creditor serves first; the second creditor jumps in line on the debtor’s bank balances. A common misconception is that the lien attaches to real estate, but it does not. Real estate liens require an Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001) recorded with the county recorder.

When You Use the Third-Party Version

CCP § 708.120 covers third-party exams, and the threshold is that you must show, by affidavit or declaration, that the third party owes the judgment debtor more than $250 or holds property of the debtor worth more than $250. The plain-English version is that you cannot fish-hook a stranger; you need a sworn factual basis.

The consequence of filing without that affidavit is dismissal of the exam and, in some counties, sanctions under CCP § 128.5. A real-world example is a creditor who suspects a debtor’s mother is holding a $40,000 truck; the creditor must declare facts supporting that belief. A common misconception is that you can examine spouses freely, but community property rules in Family Code § 910 interact with this in complicated ways.

Step-by-Step: Filling Out Every Line of CIV-010

The form is two pages but every box matters. Walk through it in order, and do not leave a single field blank, because California clerks reject incomplete forms under California Rules of Court, Rule 2.100.

You can pull a fillable copy directly from the Judicial Council CIV-010 page or fill it in by hand in blue or black ink. Typed is preferred, because the order section becomes a court order once the judge signs it.

Caption Box: Attorney or Party Without Attorney

The top-left caption box asks for the name, state bar number, address, telephone, fax, and email of the attorney or party without attorney. If you are pro per, write In Pro Per where the bar number goes. The plain-English explanation is that this tells the clerk who to send notices to.

The consequence of leaving the email blank is that you may miss electronic notice in counties that have moved to mandatory e-service under CRC Rule 2.251. A real-world example is Maria Delgado, a small landlord in Fresno, who lost a continuance notice because she left the email line empty.

A common misconception is that you can list a P.O. box only. You cannot if you want personal service of court papers in return; the clerk wants a street address for the Proof of Service (POS-040) chain.

Court Box: Superior Court of California, County of ___

You file CIV-010 in the same court that entered the judgment. If the judgment was entered in Los Angeles Superior Court, you file there even if the debtor now lives in San Diego. This rule comes from CCP § 708.160.

The consequence of filing in the wrong court is rejection by the clerk and a wasted filing fee, which is roughly $60 for the order under Government Code § 70626. A real-world example is James Patel, a contractor whose original judgment came out of Riverside; he tried to file CIV-010 in Orange County because the debtor moved, and the clerk bounced it.

A common misconception is that you can transfer the case first and then file. You can, but transfer is its own process under CCP § 397 and rarely worth it for a single exam.

Plaintiff/Petitioner and Defendant/Respondent

These lines mirror the original case caption exactly. Do not shorten Acme Roofing Solutions, Inc. to Acme Roofing. Mismatched captions get rejected because the clerk searches the case management system by exact match.

The consequence of a caption mismatch is a rejected filing and a delay of one to three weeks in busy counties like Los Angeles and Alameda. A real-world example is a creditor who dropped the Inc. and had the order vacated when the debtor’s lawyer pointed out the inconsistency. A common misconception is that abbreviating is fine because everyone knows the parties; the court file does not care what everyone knows.

Case Number

Copy the case number exactly from the original judgment, including the prefix that identifies the case type and the year. Most California counties use a format like 24STCV12345 in Los Angeles or 24-CV-01234 in Sacramento.

The consequence of a wrong case number is that your CIV-010 ends up in the wrong file or no file at all. A real-world example is Lisa Nguyen, a small claims creditor who transposed two digits and waited six weeks before discovering her exam was set on a non-existent case.

A common misconception is that the clerk will fix typos. The clerk will not. The clerk processes thousands of forms a week and rejects rather than corrects.

Item 1: Name of Person to Appear

This is the heart of the form. You write the full legal name of the person you want examined. If it is the judgment debtor, this is usually the same name in the Defendant caption.

If the debtor is a corporation or LLC, you must name a person most knowledgeable or a specific officer, because entities cannot testify. The consequence of naming only Acme Corp is that no human shows up and the court denies your bench warrant request. A real-world example is naming Acme Corp, by and through its President, Robert Chen. A common misconception is that the sheriff figures out who to grab; the sheriff serves the named person only.

Item 2: Judgment Debtor or Third Person

You check one of two boxes. Box 2a is for a judgment debtor exam under CCP § 708.110. Box 2b is for a third-party exam under CCP § 708.120.

The consequence of checking the wrong box is that the wrong statute governs and the wrong rules apply, including the $250 affidavit threshold. A real-world example is a creditor who checked 2a for the debtor’s bookkeeper, then had the order quashed because the bookkeeper is a third party. A common misconception is that the boxes are interchangeable; they are not.

Item 3: Date, Time, and Place

You leave the date and time blank, because the clerk or department assigns those when you file. You do fill in the courthouse address, the department or room number if known, and the city.

The consequence of writing in your own date is that the clerk will line it out and assign a different one, often months later than you expected. A real-world example is Daniel Rivera, a creditor in San Bernardino who wrote next Tuesday; the clerk assigned a date 11 weeks out. A common misconception is that you can pick your own slot; only the court controls the calendar.

Item 4: Address of Person to Be Examined

You list the address where the person can be served and where they reside or work. This address controls the 150-mile rule under CCP § 708.160(a).

The consequence of listing an address more than 150 miles from the courthouse is that the debtor can refuse to appear. A real-world example is a Los Angeles creditor who tried to drag a Eureka debtor to downtown LA; the debtor moved to quash and won. A common misconception is that you can serve anywhere in California; you cannot for ORAP purposes.

Item 5: Affidavit for Third-Party Exam

If you checked box 2b, you must complete the affidavit at item 5 stating that the third party owes the debtor more than $250 or holds property of the debtor worth more than $250. You sign it under penalty of perjury.

The consequence of a vague or conclusory affidavit is denial of the order. A real-world example is Sandra Kim, who wrote only I believe the bank holds money; the judge denied her application. A common misconception is that you do not have to attach evidence; you do not, but you do have to state specific facts.

Order Section: Judge’s Signature Line

The bottom of the form becomes a court order once a judge signs. You leave the Judicial Officer and date lines blank for the judge.

The consequence of pre-signing or filling in a fake judge name is forgery, which is a felony under Penal Code § 470. A real-world example is rare because the consequence is so severe. A common misconception is that you can stamp a judge’s name; you cannot, ever.

How to File and Serve CIV-010 the Right Way

Filing is the easy part. Service is where most pro per creditors fail, because CCP § 708.110(d) requires personal service at least 10 calendar days before the hearing, and substitute service is not allowed for the debtor exam.

You file CIV-010 with the clerk of the court that entered the judgment, pay the fee, and wait for the judge to sign. Most counties return a conformed copy within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on backlog. You can check the California Courts self-help filing fee schedule for current amounts.

Personal Service Only

Personal service means a non-party adult, usually a registered process server or the sheriff, hands the signed order to the named person. You cannot mail it. You cannot leave it with a roommate.

The consequence of substitute service is that the court cannot issue a Bench Warrant (CR-160) when the debtor fails to appear. A real-world example is Tomás Herrera, a creditor who left the order with the debtor’s adult son; the court refused to issue a warrant when the debtor no-showed. A common misconception is that certified mail counts; it does not for ORAPs.

The 10-Day Rule and the 150-Mile Rule

The 10-day rule comes from CCP § 708.110(d) and is calendar days, not court days. The 150-mile rule comes from CCP § 708.160(a) and measures the straight-line distance from the debtor’s residence or workplace to the courthouse.

The consequence of late service is automatic continuance or dismissal of the exam. The consequence of violating the 150-mile rule is a successful motion to quash. A real-world example is a San Diego creditor who served a Bakersfield debtor on day 9; the debtor’s lawyer appeared, pointed at the calendar, and got the exam continued for 90 days. A common misconception is that holidays extend the deadline; under CCP § 12, only the last day rolls if it falls on a holiday.

Proof of Service

After service, the process server fills out a Proof of Personal Service (POS-020) and you file it with the court before the hearing. Without a filed proof of service, the judge cannot issue a bench warrant.

The consequence of forgetting to file the POS is the same as not serving at all. A real-world example is Karen Whitfield, a creditor whose process server served the debtor on time but never returned the POS; the debtor no-showed, and the court did nothing. A common misconception is that the clerk reminds you; the clerk does not.

Three Real-World Scenarios with CIV-010

Before you file, run your situation against these three patterns. They cover the bulk of California debtor exams.

Scenario 1: Consumer Debt Collection

Creditor’s Move Resulting Outcome
Files CIV-010 against individual debtor in same court that entered the judgment Clerk accepts filing, judge signs order within 2 weeks, hearing set 60–90 days out
Hires registered process server to personally serve order 14 days before hearing Service is valid, automatic lien attaches to debtor’s personal property under CCP § 708.110(d)
Debtor fails to appear despite valid personal service and filed POS-020 Court issues bench warrant under CCP § 708.170, debtor faces arrest and contempt

Scenario 2: Small Claims Judgment

Creditor’s Move Resulting Outcome
Wins $7,500 small claims judgment, files CIV-010 in same small claims division Order signed, debtor exam set on small claims calendar
Serves debtor by mail because it is small claims Service is invalid, bench warrant denied, hearing dismissed
Re-serves personally and appears at exam with prepared questions about bank, employer, and vehicles Debtor testifies under oath, creditor obtains levy targets, follows up with EJ-130

Scenario 3: Third-Party Bank Exam

Creditor’s Move Resulting Outcome
Files CIV-010 against branch manager of debtor’s suspected bank, attaches affidavit per CCP § 708.120 Court signs order, automatic lien on debtor’s account at that bank under CCP § 708.110(d) is preserved
Serves Subpoena Duces Tecum (SUBP-002) for bank records together with CIV-010 Bank produces records, creditor identifies account balances
Follows up with Notice of Levy (EJ-150) through sheriff Sheriff levies funds, creditor collects up to judgment amount

Three Named Examples in Plain Language

Real names make the rules stick. These examples track the form line by line.

Maria Delgado is a Fresno landlord who won a $12,400 judgment against a former tenant. She fills out CIV-010 in Fresno Superior Court, names the tenant in item 1, checks box 2a, lists the tenant’s apartment address in item 4 (which is 22 miles from the courthouse), and files it. The judge signs the order in 11 days, she hires a process server for $95, and the tenant is served on day 18 before a hearing set on day 64. The tenant appears, testifies that he works at a warehouse, and Maria follows with a Wage Garnishment (WG-001).

James Patel is a Riverside contractor with a $48,000 judgment against an LLC. He fills out CIV-010 naming Acme Build LLC, by and through its managing member, Brian Lee in item 1, checks box 2a, and lists Brian’s home address. He serves Brian personally 21 days out. At the hearing, Brian admits the LLC has a Wells Fargo account; James follows up with a third-party CIV-010 to Wells Fargo and a notice of levy. He collects $31,000 within 60 days.

Lisa Nguyen is a Sacramento small business owner with a $4,200 small claims judgment. She files CIV-010 in the small claims division, lists the debtor’s job site as the service address (it is 8 miles from the courthouse), and serves the debtor 12 days out. The debtor no-shows. Lisa files a request for a bench warrant under CCP § 708.170, the court issues it, and the debtor is later arrested and forced to testify.

Mistakes to Avoid

Each of these mistakes maps to a real consequence. Skip them, and your exam succeeds.

  • Filing in the wrong county. The court that entered the judgment is the only proper venue under CCP § 708.160, and filing elsewhere wastes your fee.
  • Using substitute service. CCP § 708.110(d) requires personal service, and anything less means no bench warrant.
  • Missing the 10-day window. Calendar days, not court days, and the consequence is automatic continuance.
  • Violating the 150-mile rule. The debtor will quash, and you will pay the price in lost time.
  • Forgetting the third-party affidavit. Without specific facts under CCP § 708.120, the judge denies the order.
  • Naming an entity without a human. Corporations cannot testify; you must name an officer or person most knowledgeable.
  • Failing to file the POS-020 before the hearing. No proof of service, no warrant, no exam.
  • Letting the lien expire. The automatic lien under CCP § 708.110(d) lasts one year from service.
  • Showing up without questions. The exam is your one shot at sworn testimony, and unprepared creditors leave empty-handed.
  • Skipping the subpoena duces tecum. If you want documents, you must serve a SUBP-002 along with CIV-010.

Do’s and Don’ts

These rules separate the creditors who collect from the ones who do not.

  • Do confirm the debtor’s current address before you file, because old addresses kill personal service.
  • Do hire a registered process server, since the California Association of Legal Support Professionals lists vetted providers and registered servers carry liability insurance.
  • Do serve a SUBP-002 for bank statements, pay stubs, and vehicle titles together with CIV-010.
  • Do prepare a written list of questions about employment, bank accounts, vehicles, real estate, crypto, and business interests.
  • Do file the POS-020 the moment you receive it, because the clerk needs it before the hearing date.
  • Don’t file CIV-010 in a county the debtor recently moved to; the original court keeps jurisdiction.
  • Don’t rely on certified mail or substitute service, because both invalidate the exam.
  • Don’t forget to record an Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001) separately if you want a real estate lien.
  • Don’t ask the debtor about exempt assets like Social Security; it wastes the hearing time.
  • Don’t let the one-year lien lapse without filing a new CIV-010 to renew priority.

Pros and Cons of Using CIV-010

The form is powerful, but it is not free or fast.

  • Pro: Creates an automatic one-year lien on the debtor’s personal property under CCP § 708.110(d), which gives you priority over later creditors.
  • Pro: Forces sworn testimony, and lying under oath is perjury under Penal Code § 118.
  • Pro: Can be paired with a subpoena duces tecum to pull bank, employment, and vehicle records.
  • Pro: Bench warrant power under CCP § 708.170 makes no-shows costly.
  • Pro: Works for individuals, LLCs, corporations, and third parties holding the debtor’s money.
  • Con: Personal service is mandatory, and process server fees average $75 to $150 per attempt in 2026.
  • Con: Filing fees apply in many counties under Government Code § 70626.
  • Con: The 150-mile rule limits how far you can drag a debtor.
  • Con: Hearings can be set 60 to 120 days out in busy counties like Los Angeles and Alameda.
  • Con: The lien expires after one year, which means you have to renew it to keep priority.

Key Entities You Should Know

The CIV-010 ecosystem involves several players, and knowing the role of each makes the form work for you.

The Judgment Creditor is the party owed money under the judgment, and this is usually you. The Judgment Debtor is the party who owes the money. The Third Party is anyone who holds the debtor’s property or owes the debtor more than $250, and the threshold comes from CCP § 708.120.

The Judicial Council of California writes and publishes the form on its forms portal, and county clerks must accept the current version. The Sheriff or Marshal can serve the order and later levy on assets through the Writ of Execution (EJ-130). The Registered Process Server is registered with the county under Business and Professions Code § 22350 and is the most reliable way to get personal service done on time.

Court Rulings and Precedents Worth Knowing

California courts treat CIV-010 hearings as serious proceedings, and the case law backs up the bench warrant power.

In Imperial Bank v. Pim Electric, Inc., 33 Cal. App. 4th 540 (1995), the court confirmed that the automatic lien under CCP § 708.110(d) attaches the moment the order is served, and that priority among creditors is determined by service date. The plain-English meaning is that the first creditor to serve CIV-010 wins. The consequence is that delay costs you money. A real-world example is two creditors chasing the same debtor’s $50,000 brokerage account; the first to serve takes the whole pot. A common misconception is that judgment date controls; service date controls.

In Yolanda’s, Inc. v. Kahl & Goveia Commercial Real Estate, 11 Cal. App. 5th 509 (2017), the court reinforced that ORAP liens reach all non-exempt personal property of the debtor, including accounts receivable. The plain-English point is that the lien is broad. The consequence is that even invoices the debtor has not yet collected are caught. A real-world example is a contractor whose unpaid invoices got swept up in a creditor’s lien. A common misconception is that the lien only reaches cash; it reaches choses in action too.

In Sea World, Inc. v. Superior Court, 13 Cal. App. 3d 941 (1970), the court addressed the scope of debtor exam questioning, holding that the creditor may probe broadly into income, assets, and transfers. The plain-English meaning is that you have wide latitude. The consequence is that vague objections at the hearing will be overruled. A real-world example is a debtor who tried to refuse questions about his crypto wallets; the court ordered him to answer. A common misconception is that the Fifth Amendment shuts down the exam; it does not, though it can apply to specific questions.

Filing Fees and Practical Costs in 2026

Costs vary by county, but the ranges are predictable, and you can confirm yours on the California Courts statewide fee schedule.

The motion fee for CIV-010 in most counties is around $60 under Government Code § 70617. Process server fees in 2026 typically run $75 to $150 per attempt in metro areas like Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Bay Area, and slightly less in Sacramento, Fresno, and the Inland Empire. Sheriff service is sometimes cheaper but slower.

If you cannot afford the fee, you can apply for a fee waiver using Form FW-001, and the eligibility rules are in Government Code § 68632. The plain-English point is that low-income creditors are not locked out of post-judgment collection. The consequence of skipping the waiver when eligible is unnecessary out-of-pocket cost. A real-world example is Maria Delgado, who qualified for a waiver because she received CalFresh benefits. A common misconception is that fee waivers do not cover post-judgment motions; they do.

What Happens at the Hearing

The hearing is not a trial. It is a sworn examination, often held in a hallway or jury room rather than in open court, and conducted by the creditor or the creditor’s attorney.

The court clerk or a judicial assistant administers the oath, and the debtor is sworn to tell the truth under penalty of perjury per Penal Code § 118. You then ask questions about employment, bank accounts, vehicles, real estate, business interests, cryptocurrency, recent transfers, and exempt status of any asset. You can also ask the debtor to produce documents that were listed in a SUBP-002.

The consequence of the debtor lying is a perjury referral and possible criminal prosecution. A real-world example is James Patel, who caught his debtor hiding a Tesla; the debtor amended his testimony rather than face referral. A common misconception is that the judge runs the questioning; the judge does not, you do.

If the debtor refuses to answer, you can ask the court to hold the debtor in contempt under CCP § 1209. Contempt can carry jail time of up to five days per act, plus fines.

After the Exam: Turning Testimony Into Cash

The exam is the discovery phase. Collection is the next step, and CIV-010 alone does not move money.

You typically follow up with a Writ of Execution (EJ-130) directed to the sheriff in the county where the assets sit, then a Notice of Levy (EJ-150) on banks or third parties holding the debtor’s money. For wages, you use a Wage Garnishment (WG-001). For real estate, you record an Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001) in the county recorder’s office.

The consequence of stopping at the exam is that the testimony just sits in a transcript. A real-world example is a creditor who learned about a $40,000 BMW at the exam but never instructed the sheriff to seize it; the debtor sold the car a month later. A common misconception is that the court collects for you; it does not.

State Nuances Across California

The form is statewide, but procedures vary. Los Angeles County requires e-filing through LACourtConnect for most civil matters. San Francisco and Alameda use File & ServeXpress or One Legal for civil filings. Smaller counties like Modoc, Alpine, and Sierra still accept paper filings only.

Local rules also control how the hearing is calendared. In Los Angeles, ORAPs are often set in the same department as the original case. In San Diego, they may be assigned to a dedicated post-judgment department. Always read your county’s local rules on the California Courts local rules portal.

The consequence of ignoring local rules is rejection or continuance. A real-world example is a creditor who paper-filed in Los Angeles when e-filing was mandatory; the clerk refused the filing. A common misconception is that statewide rules trump local rules; on procedural matters, local rules often add requirements rather than remove them.

FAQs

Do I need a lawyer to file Form CIV-010?

No. Pro per creditors file CIV-010 every day in California, but the personal service rule and the 150-mile rule trip up many self-represented filers, so a one-hour consult is often worth the cost.

Does filing CIV-010 create a lien automatically?

Yes. Under CCP § 708.110(d), the automatic lien attaches to the debtor’s personal property the moment the signed order is personally served, and it lasts for one year.

Can I serve CIV-010 by mail?

No. Personal service is mandatory under CCP § 708.110(d), and mail service, certified mail, and substitute service all invalidate the exam and block any bench warrant.

Is there a distance limit on where the debtor must appear?

Yes. CCP § 708.160 caps the distance at 150 miles between the debtor’s residence or workplace and the courthouse, and beyond that the debtor can move to quash.

Can I examine a corporation or an LLC with CIV-010?

Yes. You must name a specific officer or person most knowledgeable in item 1, because entities cannot testify on their own, and naming only the entity gets the order denied or the warrant refused.

What happens if the debtor does not show up?

Yes, the court can issue a bench warrant under CCP § 708.170, but only if you filed a valid POS-020 showing personal service at least 10 calendar days before the hearing.

Can I use CIV-010 against the debtor’s spouse?

Yes, if the spouse holds community property or owes the debtor more than $250, but you must check box 2b and complete the third-party affidavit under CCP § 708.120.

Does the lien from CIV-010 cover real estate?

No. The automatic lien only reaches personal property, and to lien real estate you must record an Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001) with the county recorder.

Can the debtor plead the Fifth Amendment at the exam?

Yes, on specific incriminating questions, but a blanket refusal is not allowed, and the court can compel answers about non-criminal financial information under Sea World v. Superior Court.

Is there a filing fee for CIV-010?

Yes. Most counties charge a motion fee around $60 under Government Code § 70617, and low-income filers can apply for a waiver using Form FW-001.

How long does the lien from CIV-010 last?

Yes, it lasts one year from the date of personal service under CCP § 708.110(d), and you can renew it by serving a new CIV-010 before it expires.

Can I bring documents requests to the exam?

Yes. You serve a Subpoena Duces Tecum (SUBP-002) along with CIV-010, and the debtor must produce bank statements, pay stubs, titles, and other listed records at the hearing.
