§ 28-20-15 — Affidavit of identification required before filing of judgments

North Dakota § 28-20-15

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 28: Judicial Procedure, Civil
• Ch. 28-20: Judgments

Text

No judgment for the recovery of money against any person may be docketed or entered
until the judgment creditor, or the judgment creditor's agent or attorney, has filed with the clerk of
the district court an affidavit stating the full name, occupation, place of residence, and post-office
address of the judgment debtor, to the best of the affiant's information and belief, and if the
debtor has a known street address, or residence number, or both, it must be given. This section
does not apply to any case in which judgment is taken against a corporation, limited liability
company, copartnership, public official, or party sued in a representative capacity. Failure to file
such affidavit, or the filing of a defective or insufficient affidavit, does not invalidate the judgment
docketed or entered, but the clerk of the district court entering or docketing a judgment without
such affidavit of identification is liable to any person damaged thereby in the sum of five dollars.
