Before You Go
General guidance for any North Carolina courthouse visit, not legal advice.
Arrive at least 30 minutes early to get through security screening and find your courtroom. Double-check your hearing date and time beforehand.
A government-issued photo ID, your case or citation number, any paperwork or evidence for your case, and a pen.
Weapons of any kind are prohibited and will be turned away at security. Leave large bags at home, and silence or turn off your phone inside the courtroom.
Dress neatly and conservatively. Business casual is a safe choice. Avoid hats, shorts, tank tops, and clothing with offensive images or language.
North Carolina courts provide free interpreters. If you need one, request it ahead of time through the Clerk of Court so an interpreter is scheduled for your hearing.
Silence your phone, remove your hat, and wait quietly until your case is called. Stand when the judge enters, address the judge as "Your Honor," and speak only when it is your turn.
