The Ohio Affidavit of Indigence is a legal document used to waive court fees and costs for those who cannot afford to pay them. It is available to people who are unable to pay court fees and costs due to economic hardship. The affidavit is used to show that the person is unable to pay for the court costs, such as filing fees, court reporter fees, and other associated expenses. There are two types of Ohio Affidavit of Indigence: the Original Affidavit of Indigence and the Renewal Affidavit of Indigence. To be eligible for the Original Affidavit of Indigence, individuals must show that they are unable to pay the court costs due to economic hardship. To be eligible for the Renewal Affidavit of Indigence, individuals must show that their economic hardship has not improved since their last filing. Both affidavits must be filled out completely and signed by the applicant, two witnesses, and a notary public. Once the affidavit has been filed, a judge will review the information provided and determine whether the applicant is eligible for a waiver of the court costs.
