A waiver is also known as "In forma pauperis," a Latin legal term that means "in the manner of a pauper." This term refers to a court's permission to allow a person to file a lawsuit or appeal without paying the usual court fees due to their inability to pay.
Waiver accounts are used to waive or bypass paying all fees if the court finds you eligible. Waivers are typically used for government entities and filers who are unable to afford court fees.
Waivers are obtained from the court you are filing into. If you require a waiver to bypass filing fees, please contact the court you are filing into and follow their instructions.
