Requirements for forms
Forms built on MoJ Forms must meet our requirements. We review these aspects of your form when deciding whether to approve a request to unlock publishing and make a form live.
You must consider and rule out GOV.UK Forms before choosing MoJ Forms
GOV.UK Forms is a government-wide form-building service from the Government Digital Service (GDS). It should be your first choice for building simple and straightforward forms. MoJ Forms should generally be used for more complex forms when GOV.UK Forms is unsuitable. Find out more about choosing between GOV.UK Forms and MoJ Forms.
You must accept and comply with the MoJ Forms terms of us
The MoJ Forms terms of use apply to all forms built on the platform. They describe your responsibilities as a user of MoJ Forms and describe how forms must:
- be used for legitimate MoJ purposes
- comply with data protection guidelines and regulations
- comply with accessibility guidelines and regulations
- be maintained and managed through their lifetime
Getting access and signing in
MoJ Forms is only available to employees of MoJ and its agencies and public bodies. To request access, contact us to discuss your requirements. As MoJ Forms is still in development, we need your consent to take part in ongoing research.
MoJ Forms shares a login with your primary work email address so you don't need to remember a separate username or password. We currently support email addresses ending in the following domains:
- @digital.justice.gov.uk
- @justice.gov.uk
- @cica.gov.uk
- @judicialappointments.gov.uk
- @judicialombudsman.gov.uk
- @ospt.gov.uk
- @ccrc.gov.uk
- @hmcts.net
Known issues
MoJ Forms is a new platform with a range of features that we are working to expand. In the short term, you might encounter some limitations, including:
- Forms cannot currently be deleted or unpublished (taken down from the internet). Contact us to do this.
- Autocomplete questions won't work if any of the uploaded answers contains an '&' symbol. Some other special characters may also cause problems. We recommend you use only standard letters in your answers.
