FORMS
OAH has forms and instructions to guide you to assist in filing hearing requests, documents, and/or other written submissions (generally called “papers”).
If you complete a form online, you will receive a completed, signed form to the email address you provide. You will receive a confirmation email that you completed filling the document. It is your responsibility to file all papers, including forms completed and signed online, with OAH, using the filing instructions in “How to File,” below.
For the General Public
Note: Using OAH’s standard forms is not required in most instances, but it is highly recommended to ensure compliance with OAH Rules.
For District Agencies
Pursuant to OAH Rules of Procedure 2803.5 and 2804.5, whenever a District agency files a Notice of Infraction or Notice of Violation with OAH, the District “shall file an affidavit, on a form approved by the Chief Administrative Law Judge,” verifying or attesting to certain information required to ensure service of process is accomplished in accordance with applicable law. Please Note: Some forms may require the attachment or inclusion of additional documentation or evidence.
HOW TO FILE
Papers may be filed at OAH in person or by mail, by email, or using the OAH eFiling Portal (with the exception of Department of For-Hire Vehicle appeals).
