Official MC-030 from Judicial Council of California

Quick answer

Form MC-030 is the Declaration approved for optional use by the Judicial Council of California. It is the general-purpose form for making a written statement to a court that you swear under penalty of perjury is true. Unlike MC-031 it stands on its own rather than being attached to another paper. You identify the court, the parties and the case number, state your role, write the declaration, then date and sign it.

What is MC-030?

MC-030 is the standard way to put a sworn statement in front of a California court, and JustFill lets you type it in your browser and download the finished PDF. The caption carries the attorney or party without attorney, the superior court and its address, the plaintiff or petitioner and the defendant or respondent, and the case number. A checkbox row records whether you are appearing as plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, attorney for a named party, or something else you specify. Below that is the body of the declaration, followed by the penalty-of-perjury statement, the date, your printed name and your signature.

Who fills out MC-030?

  • A party making a sworn written statement to a California court
  • A witness providing a declaration in support of or opposition to a motion
  • An attorney declaring facts on behalf of a client
  • Self-represented litigants who need a free-standing declaration

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of MC-030 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Caption

Attorney or party without attorney with state bar number and address, telephone, optional fax and email; the superior court and its street, mailing and city addresses and branch; plaintiff or petitioner and defendant or respondent; and the case number.

Role

Whether you sign as plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, attorney for a named party, or another capacity you specify.

Body of the declaration

The facts you are stating. Written in the first person, because you sign it under penalty of perjury.

Signature block

The penalty-of-perjury statement under the laws of the State of California, the date, your typed or printed name and your signature.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Writing argument instead of facts. A declaration states what you personally know.
  • 2Leaving the role checkbox blank, so the court cannot tell in what capacity you are declaring.
  • 3Signing without a date — the declaration is dated as well as signed.
  • 4Using MC-030 where the form you are supporting requires the attached version. MC-031 is the one that attaches to another paper.
