What is ATJ 2958.4?
Change of Address (Request to Expunge Juvenile Records) is the Illinois form that a person in a juvenile expungement case uses to give the court or law enforcement agency a new mailing address, a new email address, or both.
The form has two parts. Item 1, "My mailing address has changed," asks for your old and new mailing addresses. Item 2, "My email address has changed," asks for your old and new email addresses. In each part, the new address is where the court or law enforcement agency will send documents to you. The top of the form identifies the case: the county where you are filing, your name, other names used in these cases, your case number, your date of birth and your IR number, if available.
The Illinois Supreme Court approved the form, and the printed footer says it must be accepted in all Illinois Circuit Courts. The Supreme Court Commission on Access to Justice lists it as Change of Address, approved 07/2026, among the Juvenile forms on the Approved Statewide Forms page for expungement and sealing. That group also includes Request to Expunge Juvenile Records, Case List for Request to Expunge Juvenile Records, Notice of Filing for Juvenile Expungement, Order to Expunge Juvenile Records, Additional Juvenile Records and Additional Arresting Agencies. The form is one page and carries the code ATJ 2958.4.
Who needs to file ATJ 2958.4?
The main group is anyone with a juvenile expungement case in an Illinois circuit court whose contact details have changed. The form is titled for requests to expunge juvenile records, and the person named on the "Request of" line is the one who completes and signs it.
- Your mailing address changed: complete item 1 with your old and new mailing addresses so documents are sent to the new one.
- Your email address changed: complete item 2 with your old and new email addresses so documents are sent to the new one.
- Both changed: the form has a separate item for each, so you can complete both on the same page.
If neither your mailing address nor your email address has changed, this form has nothing for you to report. The form identifies the person by the name, other names used, case number and date of birth lines at the top, and it prints no rule about someone else signing on your behalf.
When to file ATJ 2958.4
Complete this form when your mailing address, your email address, or both change and you want the court or law enforcement agency to send documents to the new address. The form prints no deadline or filing window of its own.
Before you start, have your old and new addresses ready, plus the county where you are filing, your case number and, if you have one, your IR number. If you plan to e-file, finish the form first and flatten it before you upload it, as the Illinois courts' instructions describe.

Check that the county, case number and both addresses are correct. Download or print the completed PDF from FillingPDF; if you will e-file it, flatten it first as described under How to submit.
How to submit ATJ 2958.4
The form names the county where you are filing the case at the top, and it prints no court address, portal or appointment rule of its own. The Illinois courts say the form must be accepted in all Illinois Circuit Courts, so you file it in the county you entered.
If you e-file, the Illinois courts require you to "flatten" the completed PDF so it cannot be changed afterward:
- Adobe Acrobat or Reader (recommended): open the File menu, choose Print, then pick "Adobe PDF" or "Print to PDF" and save the file. The saved copy is flattened.
- Other software: look for a "Save as PDF" option, often in the print dialog box under Print.
- Open the flattened file before you e-file it to confirm that it looks filled out.
Save or download the PDF before you begin typing; if you fill out a form on a webpage, you lose your progress. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving the county line blank; the form asks for the county where you are filing the case.
- Entering a new mailing or email address that you do not want documents sent to; the form says the new address is where the court or law enforcement agency will send documents.
- Leaving out the old address or old email in the "was" lines; each item asks for both the old and the new.
- Filling out the form on a webpage without first saving or downloading it as a PDF, which loses your progress.
- E-filing the form without flattening it first, so it can still be changed after you complete it.
- Not opening the flattened file before e-filing to check that it looks filled out.
- Signing by hand without printing your name, or leaving the signature blank; by hand you must sign and print your name, and online you type your name as the signature.
