Pennsylvania Self-Represented Party Entry of Appearance
The Self-Represented Party Entry of Appearance form is used by individuals who choose to represent themselves in Pennsylvania court proceedings without an attorney to formally notify the court of their participation in a case.
The form must contain an address where the party agrees that pleadings and other legal papers may be served, and a telephone number through which the party may be contacted. It may also include a facsimile number and presents the party’s commitment to receive all court communications and legal documents at the specified contact information.

The form must be filed as a written document with the appropriate court office, typically the Prothonotary or Office of Judicial Records, when a person decides to proceed without legal representation.
After filing, the court will hold the self-represented party to the same standards of knowledge regarding statutory law, evidence law, and procedural rules as a Pennsylvania licensed attorney.
