The three principle kinds of charging documents are:

1) a complaint - is a charging document specifying that an offense has been committed by a person or persons named or described. A complaint document is used in the case of a misdemeanor or an ordinance violation.

2) an information - outlines the formal charge or charges, the law or laws that been violated, and the evidence to support the charge or charges. An information is used in states that do not use grand juries.

3) a grand jury indictment - Is a written accusation by a grand jury that one or more persons have committed a crime. A grand jury indictment document is used for a trial.
