If you are a corporation, partnership or other “artificial entity”, a current form 50 is also required to be filed with the complaint form.

If you need to obtain a form 50 or renew the form 50, you should mail the completed form 50 with a check or money order for the required fee to the Office of the Chief Magistrate at the address listed on the form.

You will receive a time stamped copy back in the mail that you will need in order to submit it with your complaint.

(Both forms may be filled out online, but may not be filed with the Court online. The Complaint Form, along with the filing fee should be mailed or delivered directly to the Court which will hear your case. A Form 50 is also required to be filed with the complaint form. The Form 50 should be mailed with a check or money order for the required fee to the Office of the Chief Magistrate at the address listed on the form.)

After you have filled out the complaint form (Form 1),
if you are using a complaint form you obtained online, you should make four copies of the complaint and any attachments. You should retain one copy for your records and take, or mail, the original plus three copies, along with the filing fee to the Court. (If you are using a carbonized copy of the complaint supplied by the Court, you do not need to make any additional copies, other than one for your own records.) The Form 50
should be mailed with a check or money order for the required fee to the
Office of the Chief Magistrate at the address listed on the form.
