Court-Approved Drug & Alcohol Awareness for the Baltimore City Circuit Court

This certificate can be presented to the Baltimore City Circuit Court clerk in person, by mail, through your attorney, or as directed by your probation officer. We also send direct verification to the court clerk or probation department upon request at no additional charge.
