Verify proper completion of the form by the creditor or its counsel, including notarization of the affiant's signature. Examine the foreign judgment to see that it has been authenticated according to the act of Congress by the Clerk of the foreign court or has been authenticated in accordance with the statutes of this state. This is usually done with a separate overlay sheet with a seal (see for example Kentucky's Form AOC-065 or AOC-060), but the format varies from state to state. Collect the appropriate filing fee just as for a civil action. Refer to the "amount of the foreign judgment" on the face of this document to determine whether to file it as a Circuit or District civil action, and to determine the filing fee. Assign a case number (and division, if any). Apply "entered" stamp to the foreign judgment and "filed" stamp to the Notice and Affidavit of Foreign Judgment Registration (Form AOC-160); add date and initials; and enter on docket sheet. Serve notice of entry as follows: a. Make a copy of the foreign judgment and separate one copy of AOC-160 and mail both by first class mail to the judgment debtor as addressed on front of AOC-160. Certified mail is recommended. If certified mail is used, collect postage fees as set forth in the "FEES AND COSTS" section of the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks Manual. Mail the documents by certified mail, return receipt requested, with instructions to deliver to addressee only and to show the address where delivered and the date of delivery on the return receipt. CR 4.01(1)(a). IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH PROPER SERVICE, CHECK THE RESTRICTED DELIVERY BOX ON THE 'RETURN' RECEIPT (Green Card). If AOC-160 is folded in thirds at the indicator line on the left margin, it will fit in a standard business window envelope, showing the judgment debtor's name and address. Detach the two (2) bottom copies of AOC-160 and return them to the judgment creditor or its counsel (if any). Place foreign judgment and top copy of AOC-160 in case file. 3. 4. 5. 6. b. c. 7. 8. Note on the case docket the date that the judgment debtor was mailed a copy of the foreign judgment and AOC-160. Once twenty (20) calendar days have elapsed from the date this form and the foreign judgment were entered and if no stay of execution or enforcement has been granted by the court, then the judgment creditor may seek execution or other process for its enforcement, as with any civil judgment entered in your court. No other order or judgment shall be required. You will treat the foreign judgment in the same manner as a judgment of any court of this state. American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com
