INSTRUCTIONS
Requests for admission are written requests by a party to an action requiring that any other party to the action either admit or deny,  
under oath, the truth of certain facts or the genuineness of certain documents. For information on timing, the number of admissions a  
party may request from any other party, service of requests and responses, restrictions on the style, format, and scope of requests for  
admission and responses to requests, and other details, see Code of Civil Procedure sections 94–95, 1013, and 2033.010–2033.420  
and the case law relating to those sections.
An answering party should consider carefully whether to admit or deny the truth of facts or the genuineness of documents. With limited  
exceptions, an answering party will not be allowed to change an answer to a request for admission. There may be penalties if an  
answering party fails to admit the truth of any fact or the genuineness of any document when requested to do so and the requesting  
party later proves that the fact is true or that the document is genuine. These penalties may include, among other things, payment of 
the requesting party’s attorney’s fees incurred in making that proof.
Unless there is an agreement or a court order providing otherwise, the answering party must respond in writing to requests for  
admission within 30 days after they are served, or within 5 days after service in an unlawful detainer action. There may be significant  
penalties if an answering party fails to provide a timely written response to each request for admission. These penalties may include,  
among other things, an order that the facts in issue are deemed true or that the documents in issue are deemed genuine for purposes  
of the case. 
Answers to Requests for Admission must be given under oath. The answering party should use the following language at the end of  
the responses:
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing answers are true and correct.
(DATE) (SIGNATURE)
