What should the clerk note in the court file?

When a participant’s address is protected, the court file should show that mail sent to that protected address was returned undelivered. This preserves privacy by not disclosing the actual address or the recipient’s identity in the public record, while still providing a factual record that an attempt at notice was made. It also helps the court track service efforts without exposing confidential information. Recording the actual address, the recipient’s identity, or the time mail was sent would unnecessarily reveal confidential details and isn’t needed to document service attempts.
