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).

Field-by-field guidance

Plain-English notes on every field on the form, with severity for what the AI completeness review treats as a blocker.

Show all 6 fields
Short Title
blocker

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
blocker

Case number must appear on every page filed and must match the parent form. Without it, the attachment cannot be associated with the case.

Attachment Number
blocker

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 Number
warning

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
warning

Total pages is required so missing pages can be detected by the clerk.

Body Text
blocker

The body of the attachment is the entire substantive content. An empty body makes the attachment useless.
