Reporting Instructions
You must call for recorded instructions the evening before your reporting date to determine if your services will be required. Please call 407-742-2424 anytime after 5:15p.m. (recording available 24 hours a day). Jurors are to report to the Osceola County Courthouse at 7:30am on their initial reporting date. If unable to access the telephone recording, please continue trying to connect or report for jury duty as directed on your summons. You need to have your badge number available when calling the recording. Your badge number is listed on your summons in the reporting instruction box.
Request for Disqualification/Excusal/Deferral
If you have a scheduling conflict and/or extreme hardship, you can request a postponement of your scheduled reporting date to a date more convenient with your schedule. Your first postponement request will be granted upon demand. Additional requests, however, will be granted only if you can prove an undue hardship. There are very few statutory reasons for being excused from jury duty. If you feel that you should be exempt or excused from your service obligation, you can submit a request to the Jury Duty Judge. To expedite your request to be excused for medical reasons, please have your healthcare provider complete the Osceola County Medical Excuse Form and forward it to Jury Services. All requests must be mailed, emailed or submitted online no less than ten (10) days prior to the reporting date to:
Ninth Judicial Circuit Court
Osceola County
Jury Administration
2 Courthouse Square, Suite 1100
Kissimmee, Florida 34741
You can also request a Disqualification/Excusal/Deferral via our online interface.
