An Application for Waiver of Filing Fee is a legal document that is used to request a waiver or reduction of the court filing fees for a given case. This document is typically used when an individual or organization is unable to pay the filing fees required to begin a case due to financial hardship. There are two main types of Application for Waiver of Filing Fees: the Application for Waiver of Civil Filing Fees and the Application for Waiver of Criminal Filing Fees. Both applications require the same information, including the name of the applicant, the reason for the filing fee waiver, and the amount of the filing fee to be waived. Depending on the type of waiver requested, additional documentation may be needed to support the waiver. Once the application is reviewed and approved, the court will waive the filing fee and the case will be allowed to proceed.
