A Maryland Statement in Support of Waiver of Prepaid Costs by Clerk is a form that is filed with the Clerk of a Circuit Court in Maryland in order to waive the prepaid costs associated with filing a case. This form may be required when an individual or organization cannot afford to pay the court costs upfront. It is also used in cases where the requesting party is a minor, receiving public assistance, or is in certain military status. There are two types of Maryland Statement in Support of Waiver of Prepaid Costs by Clerk forms: Short Form and Long Form. The Short Form is a concise form that is used in most cases, and the Long Form is used when the individual or organization is requesting a waiver of service fees associated with the case. Both forms require the same information, such as the name of the Circuit Court, name of the requesting party, and a description of the case and the reasons for the waiver request.
