The court usually appoints you a probation officer. You should bring proof to your probation officer if one has been appointed. If not, you MUST check with your court clerk immediately! You MUST furnish proof of completion of your community service, otherwise you will be placed in prison. Your court clerk can find out exactly what you need to do, or direct you to the proper authority to ask.

Yes, you will have to verify your compliance to the court. In most State's there is a Offender Community Service Section, where you have probably spoke to someone who will tell you where these hours can be takened care of. If not contact your probation officer (if any) or your lawyer, or the court clerk at where you have appeared for your sentencing. I suggest that you do make sure you verify your compliance or the courts could issue a warrant for your arrest for non-compliance to an court order.

It would be a good idea to get proof of it. Even if the court has some arrangement with whoever you were serving with, assume that they don´t. If nothing else, you´ll have records of it if any questions come up later.
Just do up a time sheet and have whoever supervised you or whoever the court said was in charge of your service to sign off on it. You should be covered then.

Of course anything that is involved in the legal system usually requires proof of completion. Even if the court does have it on file, its always a good idea to have a copy for yourself.

The court usually contacts the agency you worked at for verification. But get a letter for yourself for you own protection.

Only if you don't want to go to jail. Get proof, don't rely upon someone else.
