How do I check my jury duty status in Denver, CO online?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
To check jury duty status in Denver online you can use the U.S. District Court of Colorado’s juror portal (you’ll need the 9‑digit participant number from your summons) or the statewide Colorado Judicial Branch/District jury pages that link county reporting info; both explicitly instruct you to “check online or by phone” and give contact numbers for help (U.S. District: jury phone 800‑359‑8699; Colorado statewide jury pages list county-specific reporting instructions) [1] [2] [3].
1. Where to go first — federal versus state/local juries
If your summons is from the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado (federal court in Denver), the court’s juror pages tell you to check your status online or by phone and to have your 9‑digit participant number ready; they list the Jury Information System number 800‑359‑8699 and local jury contacts such as 303‑844‑3924 [1] [4]. If your summons came from Colorado state courts (Denver County or other judicial districts), the Colorado Judicial Branch maintains jury pages and a Denver County jury information page where counties post reporting instructions and “night before” phone numbers — those pages are the authoritative state/local route to check online status [2] [3].
2. What you need from the summons to check online
Both federal guidance and the Colorado Judicial Branch materials emphasize that the summons contains the key identifier: the U.S. District Court specifically requires the 9‑digit participant number to check your reporting status online or by phone [1]. The statewide and county jury pages likewise expect you to follow the instructions printed on your summons and to use the contact points provided there to verify whether you must report [3] [2].
3. Practical steps to check online right now
If you received a federal summons, go to the District of Colorado juror pages and use the Jury Information System with your participant number or call 800‑359‑8699 or the jury division lines listed on the site [1] [4]. If your summons is for Denver County (state court), use the Denver County jury information page on the Colorado Judicial Branch site or the Denver County-specific listing; those pages contain the county reporting procedures and the “night before” phone number you can check online or call [2] [5].
4. What the sites will — and won’t — tell you
The official pages show whether you must report, offer postponement and qualification‑questionnaire instructions, and provide contact numbers and FAQs; federal pages also list jury pay and travel reimbursement rates and practical FAQs [6] [7]. Available sources do not mention any third‑party services or unofficial apps for checking Denver jury status; rely on the court’s sites and phone lines cited above [3] [1].
5. If you can’t find your summons or participant number
The U.S. District Court tells jurors they may request a paper questionnaire or use the phone helpline if they cannot use the online system; the Colorado Judicial Branch and Denver County pages instruct you to follow the summons instructions and to call county jury offices for questions, including mistaken summonses or postponements [7] [3]. If you lost the summons entirely, the jurisdictional pages point to contacting the jury clerk or call numbers shown on those sites rather than relying on general web searches [4] [2].
6. Two viewpoints on convenience and transparency
Court materials present the online/phone system as straightforward: bring the participant number and the system will show your reporting status and instructions [1]. A secondary, implicit perspective in the county pages is that procedures vary by county — the Colorado Judicial Branch repeatedly warns that counties handle jury duty differently and directs jurors to county‑level pages for nuances, which means “online” can mean different pages or phone lines depending on whether your service is federal, Denver County state court, or another district [3] [2].
7. Quick checklist before you check online or call
Have your summons and the 9‑digit participant number ready (federal) or the summons info for state/county court; use the U.S. District jury portal or 800‑359‑8699 for federal status, and the Colorado Judicial Branch/Denver County jury pages for state/local reporting and “night before” updates [1] [2] [3].
Limitations: this summary uses only the provided official court pages; available sources do not mention any private third‑party services or smartphone apps for checking Denver jury status, and they do not provide a single consolidated “Denver online status” portal separate from the federal and county pages cited [3] [1] [2].
