Connecticut Judicial Branch Note About QR Codes on Judicial Branch Publications and Probate Forms “QR” (or “quick response”) codes store information in the form of a two-dimensional square barcode. QR codes may direct users to a mobile website, video or information page. The use of QR codes has become increasingly popular in the U.S. with the widely adopted use of smartphones capable of reading and processing this information directly from a user’s mobile device. The Judicial Branch has implemented this technology by encoding website URLs into some of its publications and forms. Utilizing a QR Code reader application, users can quickly display content from a computer on their smart phone by clicking the QR Code icon and scanning the code. A QR reader application is needed to detect the QR code. You can download a QR reader application through your mobile device’s marketplace or store. The Judicial Branch does not endorse or recommend a specific QR code reader. Many QR reader apps are available.
