The Virginia Civil Case Cover Sheet is a document that must be completed and filed by the plaintiff at the start of every civil case filed in the state of Virginia. This form provides the court with basic information about the case, including the names of the parties, the nature of the dispute, the relief sought by the plaintiff, the amount in controversy, and the county in which the case is to be heard. The Virginia Civil Case Cover Sheet also includes a section for the plaintiff to declare whether the case involves a claim of indigence, meaning that the plaintiff cannot afford to pay court costs. There are two types of Virginia Civil Case Cover Sheet: the Original Case Cover Sheet and the Amended Case Cover Sheet. The Original Case Cover Sheet is completed and filed when the case is first initiated. The Amended Case Cover Sheet is filled out and filed when the plaintiff wishes to make changes to any information initially provided on the Original Case Cover Sheet.
