Florida Juvenile Procedure Rule 8.224

RULE 8.224. PERMANENT MAILING ADDRESS

(a) Designation. On the first appearance before the court,
each party must provide a permanent mailing address and primary
e-mail address to the court. The court must advise each party that
these addresses will be used by the court, the petitioner, and other
parties for notice unless and until the party notifies the court and
the petitioner, in writing, of a new mailing or e-mail address. The
court may excuse a party from the requirement to provide an e-mail
address for good cause shown. The court may consider the following
factors in determining whether good cause exists:

(1) the party does not have an e-mail address;

(2) the party does not have reliable and consistent
access to an e-mail address;

(3) the party has some other barrier that prevents
access to e-mail; or

(4) any other factor the court deems relevant.

The court must excuse a party who is incarcerated and not
represented by an attorney from the requirement to provide an e-
mail address.

(b) Effect of Filing. On the filing of a permanent mailing
and e-mail address designation with the court, the party then has
an affirmative duty to keep the court and the petitioner informed of
any address change. Any address change must be filed with the
court as an amendment to the permanent address or e-mail
designation within 10 calendar days.
(c) Service to Permanent Mailing Address. Service of any
summons, notice, pleadings, subpoenas, or other papers to the
permanent mailing address on file with the court will be presumed
to be appropriate service.

(d) Service by E-mail. A party may consent to service or
notice by e-mail by providing a primary e-mail address to the clerk.
A parent who is required to provide an e-mail address pursuant to
statute must consent orally or in writing consent to service by e-
mail.
