The following is not meant to be legal advice.

In some rules of court, in order to get prejudgment costs, the prevailing party would need to file a memo of costs within a certain number of days, such as fifteen days, after the mailing of the notice of entry of judgment or dismissal.  The beginning attorney in litigation should be sure to review rules on proper days for procedures.  For instance, there are minimum time limits for certain items such as mailings, with different days for whether in the US, in California.

The memo of costs needs to be verified by the statement of a party, attorney.  This means a declaration needs to be prepared.

There is a Judicial Council form on the memo of costs.
