A foreign judgment filed with the court that meets the requirements of the statute shall be considered a final judgment with the same post-judgment remedies available to the judgment creditor (and applicable fees) as if it had been a Connecticut judgment.

No entry fee is required in connection with the filing of the foreign judgment.

To be filed with the court are:

1. a certified copy of the judgment;
2. a certification stating:

a. the judgment is final;
b. the judgment was not obtained by default in appearance or by confession of judgment;
c. the judgment is unsatisfied in whole or in part;
d. the amount remaining unpaid; and
e. the enforcement of such judgment has not been stayed and setting forth the name and last-known address of the judgment debtor.

Thereafter, the file is maintained as any post-judgment Connecticut case and no further stay is necessary.

A judgment creditor must file proof of service with the court. (Proof of service is a signed statement (certification) that the judgment and certificate were mailed to the judgment debtor.) Proceeds of an execution shall not be distributed to the judgment creditor earlier than thirty days after filing of such proof of service.

1. by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, restricted delivery, or
2. by verified delivery to the judgment creditor as the named addressee by private messenger, delivery or courier service.
