Illinois Citation Notice is a form of legal notification issued by an Illinois court. It is a summons that requires the recipient to appear before a court of law. The notice can be served in a variety of ways, including personal service, certified mail, publication, or posting. There are two types of Illinois Citation Notice: a summons for appearance and a citation to discover assets. The summons for appearance is issued to order the recipient to appear in court to answer to a complaint or answer questions from the court. The citation to discover assets is issued to order the recipient to provide financial information to the court. Both types of Illinois Citation Notice must be served according to the rules of the court.
