Requesting a Waiver of Fees and Costs

Pa.R.J.A. 1990 provides a standard application that filers can use to request a waiver of court fees and costs based on their financial circumstances. This is often established at a lower tribunal and the filer is requesting to have the waiver continue throughout the appeal. When this statement is filed, all corresponding filing fees on the case are waived and any requirement to submit a reproduced record is nullified.

Commonly submitted during the normal completion of the Case Initiation wizard, this document, when applicable, can be added by completing the following steps in the Filing Documents tab:
