Alabama Form C 25A PDF Details

The Alabama Form C-25A (Application and Affidavit for Entry of Default Judgment) is a civil court form used when a defendant fails to plead, answer, or otherwise defend against a Statement of Claim or Complaint. Under Rule 55(b) of the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure (ARCP), a plaintiff may request that the court clerk or a judge enter a default judgment in their favor.

To complete Form C-25A, you will need:

• Full details of the claim amount, including the principal balance, any interest, attorney fees, and court costs
• Proof that the defendant was properly served and the time elapsed without a response
• A sworn certification that the defendant is not a minor, legally incompetent, or on active military duty
• The judgment conditions, specifying whether the defendant waives or retains their exemption rights
• A notarized signature from a qualified court officer or authorized notary

This form is part of a series of Alabama district and circuit court forms. Related documents include Alabama Form C-20 and Alabama Form C-34. If the defendant later seeks to challenge the judgment, they may file a Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment. Cases with affidavit requirements may also call for a standard affidavit form.
