Transcript Procedures and Rates

How to Request an Official Transcript:

Complete an AO 435 Transcript Order form.

  • Registered ECF electronic filers select the Bankruptcy or Adversary "Misc" event, input your case number, and select the "Transcript Request" event and then upload the completed AO 435 Transcript Order form.  
  • Non-electronic filers transmit by mail or dropping off in person to the Bankruptcy Court Clerk's Office the completed AO 435 Transcript Order form.

Cost of Transcript:

  • The estimated cost of the transcript is based on the number of pages and the delivery time requested (see below chart). 
  • The actual cost will be determined by the assigned transcriber (transcribers are assigned on a rotating basis by the court) and the requestor must pay the fee directly to the transcriber before the transcript is released unless another arrangement is made prior to the production of the transcript.
  • The transcriber will contact you for your billing information prior to starting the transcript.
  • If you would like a copy of a transcript that has previously been ordered by another party, you may contact the transcriber that produced the transcript and obtain a less expensive rate.
  • Transcript rates are set by the Judicial Conference of the United States. You can find the full list of costs for additional pages on the U.S. Court's Website.
