Jury duty notices

How to determine which court sent you a jury duty notice.

King County has 2 courts – District Court and Superior Court. Each manages their own jury process differently, and their jury duty notices look a bit different.

District Court

Jury duty notices from District Court will include a text box that says “King County District Court Official Jury Notice” in all capital white letters against a black background. This will be on the front of the postcard where your address is listed. This same side of the postcard will include:

  • A return address that includes “King County District Court”
  • Your group number
  • Your badge number
  • Your report date
  • A bar code above the text “juror badge”

Visit the District Court Juror Portal – you will need your badge number from the postcard to login
