Form EJ-147, Application and Order to Require Examination After Submission of Financial Statement—Consumer Debt, is a legal document filed in the Superior Court of California.

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.

Ensures Case Number Consistency Across Pages

This check verifies that the 'CASE NUMBER' field on page 1 matches the 'CASE NUMBER' field on page 2. This is a critical data integrity check to ensure that both pages of the document are correctly associated with the same legal case file. A mismatch could lead to the document being rejected by the court clerk or filed incorrectly, causing significant processing delays.

Ensures Party Name Consistency Across Pages

This validation confirms that the 'PLAINTIFF/PETITIONER' and 'DEFENDANT/RESPONDENT' names are identical on both page 1 and page 2. Consistent party names are essential for the document's validity and to prevent any ambiguity about who the legal action involves. Discrepancies would likely result in the form's rejection and require correction and refiling.

Validates Selection of Applicant Status

This check ensures that in item 5, exactly one of the two checkboxes ('Original judgment creditor' or 'Assignee of record') is selected. The applicant must clearly state their legal standing to make the request. The application is considered incomplete if neither or both boxes are checked, and it will be returned for correction.

Verifies Chronological Order of Motion Dates

This check validates that the date the motion was heard (item 11) is on or after the date the motion was filed (item 10). A court hearing cannot logically take place before the corresponding motion has been officially filed. An error in this sequence indicates a data entry mistake that undermines the document's credibility and must be corrected.

Verifies Logical Sequence of Application Events

This validation confirms that the dates follow a logical progression: the motion filing date (item 10) must be after the financial statement filing date (item 7), which should be after the original examination order date (item 6). This sequence establishes the factual and legal basis for the application. An illogical timeline would invalidate the reason for the request and lead to its denial.

Ensures Declaration Date is Logically Sound

This check verifies that the declaration date on page 2 is on or after all other event dates listed in the application (items 6, 7, 10, and 11). The declarant is attesting under penalty of perjury that the foregoing facts are true; they cannot attest to events that have not yet occurred. A declaration dated prior to the events it describes is invalid.

Common Mistakes in Completing EJ-147

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Inconsistent Case Number and Party Names
Filers often mistype the case number or enter it inconsistently between page 1 and page 2. Similarly, the Plaintiff/Petitioner and Defendant/Respondent names may not exactly match the official court record. These errors occur due to manual data entry and can lead to the clerk rejecting the filing, causing significant delays as the document won't be correctly associated with the case file. Always double-check these details against the original judgment or other court documents.
Incorrectly Filling Out the 'Order' Section
Applicants, eager to complete the form, mistakenly fill out the 'ORDER TO APPEAR FOR EXAMINATION' section (items 1-4) on page 1. This section is reserved for the court's use and is completed by a judge after the application is approved. Filling it out yourself will result in the form being rejected. The applicant should only complete the 'APPLICATION' section on page 2.
Providing Incorrect or Inconsistent Dates
The application on page 2 requires a series of dates (items 6, 7, 10, 11) that create a procedural timeline. People frequently enter these dates incorrectly, out of sequence, or leave them blank. This happens when filers don't have the case history readily available. An incorrect timeline invalidates the justification for the examination and will cause the court to deny the application.
Missing Signature or Date on Declaration
Forgetting to sign and date the declaration at the bottom of page 2 is a simple but critical error that immediately invalidates the entire application. The statement 'I declare under penalty of perjury' requires a valid signature and date to be legally binding. Without them, the court cannot process the request. AI-powered form filling tools like Instafill.ai can flag unsigned fields to prevent this common oversight.
Confusion in the Attorney/Party Information Section
Self-represented individuals (pro per litigants) often get confused by the 'ATTORNEY FOR (name):' field. They may leave it blank or incorrectly enter their own name again. The proper entry is their own name, often followed by 'In Pro Per' or 'Self-Represented'. This confusion can cause processing delays while the clerk tries to determine the filer's status. Using a tool that understands the context of legal forms can help populate these fields correctly.
Failing to Specify Creditor Status
In item 5, the applicant must check a box to identify as either the 'Original judgment creditor' or 'Assignee of record'. Overlooking this simple checkbox is a common mistake. This information is essential for the court to verify the applicant's legal standing to enforce the judgment. Failure to specify status can lead to the application being returned for correction.
Using the Wrong Court Address or Branch Name
Filers may input a general mailing address for the court instead of the specific street address of the courthouse or branch where the case is being heard. This can cause the document to be misrouted, delayed, or even lost within the court system. It is crucial to verify the correct branch name and physical address for the specific department handling the case. AI form fillers can often pre-populate this information accurately based on the case number or county.
Entering an Inaccurate Judgment Debtor Name
The name of the judgment debtor in item 1 ('TO (name):') and item 5 must be the full, correct legal name as it appears on the judgment. Using abbreviations, nicknames, or slightly misspelled names can render the resulting order unenforceable. This mistake often happens due to carelessness or working from memory. To avoid this, copy the name exactly from the official judgment document.
Submitting an Incomplete Application
Beyond specific fields, a common issue is submitting the form with multiple blank fields, particularly the series of dates required on page 2. This often happens when the filer doesn't have all the necessary information from previous steps (like the date the motion was filed or heard). An incomplete application does not provide the court with the necessary information to grant the order and will be rejected. It's crucial to gather all required dates and details before filling out the form.
Mismatch Between Printed Name and Signature
In the declaration section, the typed or printed name must correspond to the person who is signing the document. Sometimes, an assistant fills out the form with the attorney's name, but a different person signs it, or the signature is illegible and doesn't match the printed name. This discrepancy can raise questions about who is making the declaration under penalty of perjury and may lead to rejection. Ensure the declarant is the one who prints their name and signs.

How complex is EJ-147 to fill out?
EJ-147 has a Form Complexity Index of 38 out of 100, in the basic tier: 46 fillable fields across 2 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 Form EJ-147?
This form is used by a judgment creditor to get a court order requiring a debtor to appear for an examination. It is used after the debtor has already submitted a financial statement claiming no assets are available and a judge has approved the creditor's motion to proceed with the examination anyway.
Who needs to fill out this form?
The judgment creditor or their attorney fills out the 'Application' section on page 2. After the creditor submits the application, a judge will review it and, if approved, sign the 'Order' on page 1.
Can I use this form as the first step to request a debtor examination?
No, this form is used later in the process. You must first file a 'Notice of Motion and Motion to Require Examination—Consumer Debt' (Form EJ-146) and have the court rule in your favor before you can use Form EJ-147.
What information is required for the 'Application for Order to Require Examination' on page 2?
You will need to provide the dates of previous court actions, such as when the debtor was first ordered to appear, when they filed their financial statement, and the date the court heard and granted your motion to require this examination.
How do I serve this order on the judgment debtor?
You must have a copy of the signed order served on the judgment debtor at least 30 calendar days before the examination date. The form states that service by mail or electronic service is sufficient; personal service is not required.
What happens if the judgment debtor receives this order but fails to appear for the examination?
If the judgment debtor fails to appear at the time and place specified in the order, the court may issue another order requiring them to pay the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs you incurred for the proceeding.
What is the difference between the 'Application' and the 'Order' sections of the form?
The 'Application' on page 2 is your request to the court, stating the history and justification for the examination. The 'Order' on page 1 is the official command from the court, signed by a judge, which legally compels the debtor to appear.
Who fills in the examination date and time on page 1?
The judgment creditor typically proposes a hearing date and time after coordinating with the court clerk to ensure availability. The judge's signature on the order makes this date and time official and legally binding.
I am the judgment debtor and I received this form. What does it mean?
This form is a court order compelling you to appear for an examination to provide information about your finances. You must appear at the date, time, and location listed in item 2 on page 1, or you may face penalties.
