I no longer live in the District of Columbia. When I attempt to enter my current address on the questionnaire, eJuror will not allow me to enter my new address. The system says “You have entered an out-of-state zip code.”

The Personal Information page reflects where the summons was mailed and will allow changes of address within the District of Columbia only. To enter an out-of-state address, proceed on to the questionnaire. The “Resident” page and the “Current Address” page will allow you to indicate that you no longer live in DC and to enter your non-DC address. You will then receive a formal notice of disqualification from service.
