What is MC-025?
A general-purpose attachment used when a response to any item on a California Judicial Council form (UD-105 item 3t, FL-300 item 8, etc.) doesn't fit in the space provided.
How to file
- Filing fee
- MC-025 carries no separate filing fee. Cost, if any, is set by the parent form. Attaching MC-025 to UD-105 (defendant's answer) costs nothing extra; attaching it to a complaint or petition is bundled with that filing's fee.
- Filing method
- in-person, mail, efile (county-specific, follows the parent form's accepted methods)
- Filing deadline
- MC-025 has no independent deadline. File it together with the parent form by the parent form's deadline. If a filer needs to add an MC-025 to an already-filed parent form, the procedure (motion to amend, supplemental filing) is governed by the parent form's rules and local court practice, not by MC-025 itself.
- How to serve
- Inherits from the parent form. When the parent must be served on opposing parties, MC-025 is served as part of the same package and the proof of service lists the parent plus its attachments.
- Wet signature
- No
- Notarization
- No
- Original and copies
- Inherits from the parent form. The original MC-025 stays physically attached to the original parent form filed with the clerk. Each conformed copy and each served copy carries the same MC-025 attachment.
Common pitfalls
MC-025 is a continuation page, not a stand-alone filing. Treat its filing meta as 'whatever the parent form requires.' The block above captures the small set of rules that are MC-025-specific (zero independent fee, zero independent deadline, zero independent signature).
Don't memorize the rules. Ezel walks you through MC-025 field by field, flags what the AI review treats as a blocker, and renders a court-ready PDF.

Caption short title is required on every page of court documents. On MC-025 it must match the parent form exactly so the clerk can pair them.
Case number must appear on every page filed and must match the parent form. Without it, the attachment cannot be associated with the case.
MC-025 has a labeled 'ATTACHMENT (Number):' field. Without it, the clerk and judge cannot tell which item on the parent form this attachment continues.
Page X of Y pagination is printed on the form. If the filer attaches a single MC-025 it should be 'Page 1 of 1'.
Total pages is required so missing pages can be detected by the clerk.
The body of the attachment is the entire substantive content. An empty body makes the attachment useless.
