What is Extreme Risk Protection Order – Certificate of Service – Oregon?
The Extreme Risk Protection Order – Certificate of Service is the Oregon Judicial Department (OJD) form on which the person who served an Extreme Risk Protection Order on the respondent states, under penalty of perjury, when, where and how the documents were delivered.
The form is headed for the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for a named county and carries the case number and the "In the Matter of" caption, with the respondent identified. The server declares that they are a resident of a stated state, are a competent person 18 years of age or older, and are not a party to or lawyer in the case or the employee of a party.
The server then certifies that on a stated date and time (am/pm) they served the respondent in person by delivering the documents to a stated address or location. The form lists what was served: true copies of the original Extreme Risk Protection Order with the Notice to Respondent/Request for Hearing, and an "Other" line for naming any other forms or documents served.
The form closes with a declaration that the statements are true to the best of the server's knowledge and belief, that they are made for use as evidence in court, and that the server is subject to penalty for perjury. The printed footer shows "Page 1 of 1 (Feb 2022)". It is specific to Extreme Risk Protection Orders and records in-person service only.
Who needs to file Extreme Risk Protection Order – Certificate of Service – Oregon?
The person who delivered the Extreme Risk Protection Order to the respondent completes and signs this form. The form sets conditions for that person, who declares that they:
- are a resident of the state named on the form;
- are a competent person 18 years of age or older;
- are not a party to or lawyer in the case;
- are not the employee of a party.
A sheriff or sheriff's deputy may act as the server. If the person serving is not a sheriff or sheriff's deputy, the form asks for the server's address and phone number at the bottom.
The form covers service on the respondent made in person. It is not written for a server who is a party to the case, the party's lawyer or a party's employee. The Oregon Forms Center notes that court staff cannot give legal advice, including telling you which form to choose, so questions about which form fits your situation go to a lawyer or the Self-Help Center.
When to file Extreme Risk Protection Order – Certificate of Service – Oregon
Complete the certificate after the respondent has been served in person, because the form records a date, time and place of service that has already happened. The server signs and dates it once those facts are true. The form prints no deadline of its own for completing or returning it; the court handling the case can tell you what applies to your case, but court staff cannot give legal advice.

- Leaving out the server's address and phone number when the person serving is not a sheriff or sheriff's deputy.
- Omitting the time of service or its am/pm, or the address or location where the documents were delivered.
- Using the form to report service by any method other than delivering the documents to the respondent in person.
- Failing to mark the box for the true copies of the original Extreme Risk Protection Order with the Notice to Respondent/Request for Hearing, or failing to name other documents on the "Other" line.
- Leaving the case number or county blank in the court caption.
- Submitting the form unsigned or without the printed name of the server; the declaration is made subject to penalty for perjury.
