How to get excused from jury duty in Webster County, Missouri
The excusal routes Webster County, Missouri actually recognizes — what each one needs, who decides, and where it goes.
Answered by the Webster County Circuit Clerk’s office on 28 September 2026 — and it settles the question this page used to ask you to go and find out. Webster normally decides financial hardship at voir dire — in person, during jury selection — though it can also be sent in writing in advance. You write the request yourself; there is no form. A medical excusal is a note from your medical provider, on their letterhead. At 70 or older — Webster’s cutoff, lower than the 75 some Missouri counties use — you can be excused automatically if you wish, and that one is permanent; a hardship or medical excusal applies to that term only. And you get one postponement for any reason, automatically; further ones need documentation. Requests go to [email protected].
Your routes in Webster County, Missouri
PostponementIncluded — one, for any reason
One postponement is allowed for any reason, automatically — you do not have to do anything. Further postponements require documentation.
Webster County Circuit Clerk’s office — by email, 28 September 2026. The office’s words: “They can postpone once for any reason without them doing anything. Any further postponements, they kind of have to jump through some hoops as far as obtaining documents and such.”
The first one is as easy as it gets here. If a later term would solve the problem, it is worth taking before reaching for an excusal.

Age 70 or olderIncluded — 70+, permanent
At 70 or older you can be excused automatically if you wish — being over 70 is enough on its own, and this one is permanent. You may still serve if you prefer.
Webster County Circuit Clerk’s office — by email, 28 September 2026. The office’s words: “70 is the cutoff. If they want to be a juror that is fine, but being over 70 can be an automatic excuse if that is what the potential juror wishes,” and “age 70 and over are excused permanently.”
The age is 70 here — not 75. Other Missouri counties in this project set it at 75, so this is taken from Webster’s own reply and applies only to Webster.

Financial hardshipNormally raised at voir dire
Webster normally decides financial hardship at voir dire — in person, during jury selection. You write out your situation and raise it there; the office says it can also be sent in writing in advance, but in person is the normal path. There is no form.
Webster County Circuit Clerk’s office — by email, 28 September 2026. Asked whether hardship is decided from what is sent in or raised in person, the office answered: “They can do this either way. But normally it would be decided at voir dire.” Asked about a form: “Our county does not have a formal form for that. A potential would write it themselves.”
This is normally a spoken process, decided at jury selection. What you are buying is help making that case clearly — what you would say and bring — not a mailed letter, because Webster does not normally decide hardship on paper in advance.

A note from your medical provider, on their letterhead. There is no form; the provider supplies it.

The office named nothing the note must contain. Because counties differ so much on how much clinical detail they want, ask what the note should say before your provider writes it.
