Have you received a notice in the mail stating that you need to confirm your email address or file an appearance?
What does that mean?
What that means is that you need to provide the Allen County Clerk of the Courts with a valid email address to receive electronic notices regarding a case. Notices are provided by email now, with hard copies going out only if an email address is unavailable. If you have an email address on file, the e-notice has links embedded that you can use to access the latest document in that case online.
You can file an appearance in person, at the office of the Allen County Clerk (Room 201 of the Courthouse) or by sending a letter to the clerk that provides that email address or by completing an appearance form. Be sure to cite your case number in that letter. The Clerk’s mailing address is:
Allen County Clerk of the Courts
715 S. Calhoun St., Room 201
Fort Wayne, IN 46802
