Once you have filed an application to register the out-of-state judgment in California, the court will enter the judgment.

To domesticate an out-of-state judgment in California, follow this procedure: First, the creditor must file an Application for Entry of Judgment on Sister-State Judgment (Form EJ-105). The application must be filed in the debtor's county of residence, pursuant to CCP § 1710.20(b).
You can domesticate judgments from other states Florida allows for a process known as the domestication of foreign judgments. Essentially, judgments from another state are enforceable in Florida provided that the party hoping to enforce the judgment follows the right steps.
File a petition for the domestication of the foreign judgment in the circuit court of the Florida county where the debtor lives or has property; Serve the petition and a copy of the foreign judgment on the judgment debtor; Attend a hearing on the petition, if the court schedules one; and.
When a judgment has been rendered by a California court, it is enforceable only against assets located in California. If the Judgment Debtor has assets in another state, the Judgment Creditor must convert the judgment to obtain jurisdiction over the assets located in the “foreign” state.
The rule is codified in the United States Constitution and various federal and state statutes. Simply put, a debt collector can file a lawsuit in another state, authenticating the past-due amount and subsequently domesticating the judgment in another state.
