This Foreign Judgment Enrollment Package contains the forms and instructions to enroll a foreign (other State) judgment in your state. A foreign judgment is a judgment entered by a court other than the court of the state where the judgment is sought to be enrolled. Enrolling a judgment allows the judgment creditor or person holding the judgment to enforce it in the state of enrollment and the enrollment creates a judgment lien against the property of the Judgment Debtor.
