It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on

ENROLLMENT OF A FOREIGN JUDGMENT
A foreign judgment is a judgment entered by a court other than the court of the state where the
judgment is sought to be enrolled. Enrolling a judgment allows the judgment creditor or person
holding the judgment to enforce it in the state of enrollment and the enrollment creates a judgment lien
against the property of the Judgment Debtor.
Requirements:
1. The Judgment must be a final judgment.
2. The Judgment must be “certified pursuant to acts of congress” or "triple-sealed". This
means that a judge of a court of record must authenticate the order or abstract, the clerk
of court must authenticate the judge's authentication as genuinely that of a judge of a
court of record, and a judge must authenticate the clerk as clerk.
3. Execute an Affidavit and Certification in Support of Request to Enroll Foreign
Judgment [Form One], a Request for Enrollment with Judgment attached as Exhibit A
[Form Two] and Notice of Enrollment [Form Three].
4. Using the enclosed Cover Letter, send Affidavit in Support of Request to Enroll Foreign
Judgment [Form One], a Request for Enrollment with Judgment attached as Exhibit A
[Form Two] and Notice of Enrollment [Form Three] to the clerk of the court where the
judgment is sought to be enrolled.
5. Mail a copy of the Notice of Enrollment to the judgment debtor.
6. Wait the required time of 30 days after mailing by the Clerk of the Court of the Notice
of Enrollment and then you may execute on property of the judgment debtor that is not
exempt from execution.
The judgment becomes a final judgment of that court when recorded in the Office of the Clerk,
and can be readily transferred from one county to another as the final judgment of the enrolling court.
See 28 U.S.C. §1738 for statutory requirements for orders which must be extended full faith and
credit. States may give full faith and credit without the documentary requirements but they must give
full faith and credit if the requirements are met.
Enrollment of a foreign judgment in the State of Connecticut is controlled by the Connecticut
Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, General Statutes of Connecticut, Title 52, Chapter
928, Sections 52-604 through 52-609, inclusive.
