Complete your enforcement officer report

Use this form to recover fees and expenses incurred in executing or attempting to execute an enforcement warrant in Queensland—if you are an enforcement officer (i.e. the sheriff, a deputy sheriff or a bailiff of the court) for matters in the supreme, district or magistrates courts.

You can also use this form to submit a report about the service of foreign documents.

As an enforcement officer, you must complete a report and submit it to the relevant Queensland court registry. This report tells the court registrar what action you’ve taken and what expenses you’ve incurred.

This helps the registrar calculate the distribution of payments for the recovery of a debt.

To complete this form you will need:

  • the file number
  • the names and current contact details of the parties (i.e. the enforcement creditor and the enforcement debtor)
  • details of the enforcement action taken (e.g. execution or attempted execution of a warrant)
  • details of the expenses being claimed
  • your ABN (foreign service only)
  • an electronic copy of the warrant to upload with your report
  • supporting documentation as evidence of your online form claim (e.g. invoice receipt).

Note: you must also forward the original warrant to the relevant court registry within 7 days of submitting this form. If you were unable to serve foreign service documents you must forward the originals to the relevant court registry within 7 days of submitting this form.

This form will automatically calculate your claim amount. The registrar will determine any amount owed to you.
