Register a Restraining Order From Another State

If you move to California, you can register your order with the court. Fill out and take a Register Out-of-State Restraining Order (form DV-600) to the court. Bring a certified copy of your order with you. Note: You are not required to register your out of state restraining order. A valid order is enforceable whether or not it has been registered.

Restraining orders get entered into a special computer system at the California Department of Justice. That way, police officers across the state can find out about your order. In some counties, the court sends your order to the state computer for you. Ask the clerk if your court will do this. If not, take a copy of the order to your local police. They can enter your order into the computer. Click here for help finding a law enforcement agency.
