An application for a domestic violence protection order shall be made in writing; If it is really difficult to apply in writing, an oral application may be made, and the people's court shall record it in writing.
If the party concerned is a person without or with limited capacity for civil conduct, or is unable to apply for a personal safety protection order due to coercion, intimidation or other reasons, his close relatives, public security organs, women's federations, neighborhood committees, villagers' committees, and relief management agencies may apply on his behalf.
