D.C. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 10-I

(a) STATIONERY; TITLE; RELIEF PRAYED. Pleadings and like papers must be on

opaque white paper, approximately 11 inches long and 8 1/2 inches wide, without back

or cover, fastened at the top and stating under the caption the nature of the pleading

and the relief, if any, prayed.

(b) LOCATIONAL INFORMATION: PLEADINGS AND OTHER PAPERS.

(1) In General. The first pleading filed by or on behalf of a party must set forth in the

caption the party's name, full residence address, and unless the party is represented by

counsel, the party's telephone number and email address if any. All subsequent

pleadings and other papers filed by or on behalf of a party must set forth the party’s

name, full residence address, and telephone number and email address if any, unless

that party is represented by counsel. If a party is represented by counsel, all pleadings

or other papers must set forth the name, office address, telephone number, email

address, and Bar number of the attorney. The names, addresses, email addresses, and

telephone numbers so shown will be conclusively deemed to be correct and current. It is

the obligation of the attorney or unrepresented party whose address, email address, or

telephone number has been changed to give immediate notice to the appropriate

branch or office within the Civil Division and all other attorneys and unrepresented

parties named in the case of this change. Attorneys must include their Bar number in all

such notices. Should a party incur expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, due

to the failure of any other party, or that party’s attorney, to give prompt notice of a

change of address, email address, or telephone number, the court, upon motion or upon

its own initiative, may order the party failing to give notice to reimburse the other party

for expenses incurred.

(2) Substitute Address. A party is not required to state the party’s residence address

if:

(A) the party is a participant in the District of Columbia’s Address Confidentiality

Program (D.C. Code §§ 4-555.01 to -.12 (2019 Repl. & 2020 Supp.)) or has a

reasonable basis to fear harassment or harm to the party or the party's family if the

party's residence address is disclosed; and

(B) the party substitutes the address of the party's attorney or other agent

authorized to accept service copies for the party.

(3) Confidential Address. If no substitute address is available, a party may file a

motion asking the court to treat the party’s address as confidential and to designate the

clerk as an agent authorized to accept service copies for the party. If the court grants

the motion, the clerk must accept service copies for the party and must immediately

send the service copies, by first-class mail, to the party’s confidential address.

(c) NONCONFORMANCE WITH ABOVE. A pleading or other paper not conforming to

the requirements of this rule will not be accepted for filing.
