The Louisiana Application to Proceed Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) is a legal document used by people who cannot afford to pay the full cost of filing a lawsuit in Louisiana. This document is also known as an "in form paupers" form or an "IFP" form. The form allows individuals to apply to the court for permission to proceed in a lawsuit without paying the full cost of filing and court costs up front. There are two types of Louisiana Application to Proceed Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form): a regular form and an indigent form. The regular form is used by individuals who are financially able to pay the full cost of filing the lawsuit, but who cannot pay the full amount up front. The indigent form is used by individuals who cannot afford to pay any of the costs associated with filing the lawsuit. When the Louisiana Application to Proceed Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) is approved, the individual is permitted to proceed with the lawsuit without having to pay all the costs up front. In some cases, the court may require the individual to pay back some costs after the lawsuit has been resolved.
