What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

Form DR22f, Acceptance of Service, is a legal document for the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County used in family law cases. By signing, an individual confirms they have received specific legal papers, such as a divorce petition, which starts the official timeline for their response and waives the need for formal personal service. This acknowledgment is crucial for the case to proceed and establishes deadlines for the receiving party. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Representation Status Selection

This check ensures that the person filing has selected one of the representation statuses: 'Self, without a Lawyer', 'Attorney for Petitioner', or 'Attorney for Respondent'. This information is mandatory for the court to understand who is filing the document and in what capacity. If no selection is made, the form submission will be rejected, and the user will be prompted to choose an option.

Conditional Attorney Bar Number

Validates that the 'Lawyer’s Bar Number' field is filled out if the filer has selected 'Attorney for Petitioner' or 'Attorney for Respondent'. This number is crucial for verifying the attorney's credentials with the State Bar. If the filer is an attorney and this field is left blank or contains an invalid format, the submission will fail until a valid bar number is provided.

Case Number Format and Presence

This check verifies that the 'Case No' field is not empty and conforms to the standard Maricopa County case number format (e.g., FC-prefixed followed by digits). The case number is the primary identifier for the legal action and is essential for correctly filing the document with the Clerk of the Court. An incorrect or missing case number will prevent the document from being associated with the correct case file.

Party Names Completeness

Ensures that both the 'Name of Petitioner / Party A' and 'Name of Respondent / Party B' fields are completed. These names are fundamental to identifying the parties involved in the family court case. Leaving either of these fields blank would make the document legally ambiguous and result in a validation error, requiring the user to enter both names.

Minimum Document Acceptance Check

This validation confirms that at least one checkbox is selected from the lists of legal documents. The entire purpose of an 'Acceptance of Service' form is to affirm receipt of specific documents. If no documents are checked, the form has no legal standing, so the submission will be blocked with a message instructing the user to select the documents they received.

Other Case Type and Document List Consistency

This check ensures that if a user enters text into the 'List other case type here' field, they must also list at least one document in the free-text fields below it. Conversely, if a document is listed, the case type must be specified. This prevents incomplete or ambiguous entries for non-standard case types, ensuring clarity for the court record. Failure to meet this condition will trigger an error.

  4. Read the declarations to understand the response deadline (20 days if in Arizona, 30 if outside) and the consequences of not responding, which could result in a default judgment.

Common Mistakes in Completing DR22f

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Incorrectly Identifying Petitioner and Respondent
The person signing this form to accept service is typically the Respondent, but they must fill out the 'Person Filing' section at the top. This can cause confusion, leading them to incorrectly swap the Petitioner and Respondent names in the designated fields. This error can cause significant clerical issues and may require the form to be amended and refiled, delaying the case.
Inconsistent or Missing Case Number
The form requires the Case Number to be written on the top of all five pages. Filers often enter it on the first page but forget to carry it over to the subsequent pages, or they make a typo on one of the pages. This can lead to the court clerk misfiling or rejecting the document, as the pages may become separated or deemed incomplete.
Falsely Acknowledging Document Receipt
Users may check boxes for documents they did not actually receive, either by mistake or by assuming they should check the entire section for their case type. Since the form is signed under oath, this constitutes a false statement and can have serious legal consequences, including jeopardizing their position in the case. It is crucial to only check the box for each specific document physically received.
Selecting the Incorrect Case Type Category
The form lists many similar case types, such as 'Divorce with Children' versus 'Divorce without Children.' A filer might hastily check boxes under the wrong category, invalidating the acceptance of service for the actual documents they received. This error requires refiling and can delay legal proceedings significantly.
Forgetting Notarization
The signature on page 5 must be witnessed and certified by a Notarial Officer. Filers, especially those representing themselves, often overlook this requirement, sign the document, and file it directly. The court clerk will reject an un-notarized form, causing delays and requiring the filer to repeat the signing process correctly.
Misunderstanding the Response Deadline
Signing this form starts a strict countdown (20 days in-state, 30 days out-of-state) to file a formal Response. Many people mistakenly believe that signing this form is their response or that it pauses the case. This misunderstanding can lead to a default judgment being entered against them, where the other party gets everything they asked for.
Illegible Handwriting on a Printed Form
This form is often a non-fillable PDF that must be printed and completed by hand. Illegible handwriting can make critical information like names, case numbers, and dates unreadable to the court clerk. This can lead to data entry errors in the court's system or outright rejection of the form. AI-powered tools like Instafill.ai can convert such PDFs into fillable versions, ensuring all entries are clear and legible.
Incomplete or Incorrect Name Restoration
In divorce cases, a party can request their former name be restored, but they may fill this section out incorrectly or when it's not applicable. They might provide an incomplete name or attempt to use this section in a non-divorce case. It is crucial to either fill it out completely and accurately or check the 'Not applicable' box to avoid ambiguity.
Failing to Check Any Document Boxes
Some individuals may sign and notarize the form but forget to check any of the boxes on pages 1-3 to indicate which documents they received. This makes the 'Acceptance of Service' meaningless, as it doesn't specify what is being accepted. The court will reject the form as incomplete, halting case progress until a valid acceptance is filed.
Missing Signature or Date
It is a surprisingly common mistake for filers to complete the entire form but forget the final, crucial step of signing and dating it before notarization. An unsigned or undated form is legally invalid and will be rejected by the court clerk. This simple oversight necessitates re-doing the signature and notarization process, causing unnecessary delays. AI form-filling tools like Instafill.ai often include validation checks that can flag empty signature fields to help prevent this error.
Improperly Handling 'Other Case Type'
If a case type isn't listed, users must write it in and manually list every document received on the subsequent lines. A common mistake is to only write the case type but fail to list the specific documents, or vice-versa. This omission makes the acceptance incomplete and legally insufficient, leading to rejection by the court.

How complex is DR22f to fill out?
DR22f has a Form Complexity Index of 45 out of 100, in the basic tier: 125 fillable fields across 5 pages. Instafill.ai's AI fills it in under a minute, with every field there for you to review before you download.
What is the purpose of the 'Acceptance of Service' form?
This form is used to formally acknowledge that you have received legal documents for a family court case. Signing it takes the place of being formally served by a process server or sheriff.
Who needs to fill out this form?
The person named as the Respondent or Party B in a family court case fills out this form after the Petitioner (Party A) gives them the initial court papers.
Does signing this form mean I agree with what the other party is asking for?
No, absolutely not. Signing this form only confirms that you have received the legal documents; it does not mean you agree with any of the requests made in the petition.
What happens if I don't sign the Acceptance of Service?
Signing is voluntary. If you choose not to sign, the other party will have to arrange for you to be formally served by a process server, which can be more intrusive and may involve additional costs.
How do I fill out the section with all the checkboxes for different case types?
Find the section that matches your case type, such as 'Divorce with Children,' and carefully check the box next to each individual document you actually received from the other party. Do not check a box for a document you did not receive.
What is my deadline to respond after I sign this form?
You must file a written Response with the court within 20 days if you accepted service in Arizona, or 30 days if you accepted service outside of Arizona. The clock starts once this signed form is filed with the Clerk of Court.
What happens if I sign this form but don't file a Response on time?
If you fail to file a Response within the legal time limit, the court can issue a 'Default Judgment,' which means the other party may be granted everything they asked for in their petition without your input.
Does this form need to be notarized?
Yes, you must sign the form in the presence of a Notarial Officer (a notary public), who will then complete the bottom section and apply their stamp or seal.
How do I use this form to change my name back after a divorce?
In a divorce case, you can use section 4 to request your name be restored. Fill in your complete current married name and the full legal name you had before the marriage.
What if my case type isn't listed on the form?
If your specific case type is not listed, you can use the 'other case type' section. Write in the type of case and then manually list each document you received in the space provided.
Can AI tools help me fill out this form?
Yes, services like Instafill.ai use AI to accurately auto-fill form fields with your personal information and case details, which saves time and helps prevent errors.
How can I fill out this form online instead of by hand?
