US Bankruptcy Court (General) Fax Number — Fax Court Filings and Documents

Bankruptcy filings are handled district by district, so there is no single nationwide fax line for the US Bankruptcy Court. Each district clerk's office sets its own number and its own rules about what may arrive by fax, which usually means emergency motions, expedited matters, or situations where CM/ECF access is genuinely unavailable. Before you send a brief or a settlement document, find the clerk's office for the district where your case is pending and confirm they accept the type of filing you have.

What You Can Fax to US Bankruptcy Court (General)

  • Motions and briefs
  • Case correspondence
  • Emergency filings
  • Attorney appearance forms
  • Settlement documents
Tip: Put the case number and chapter at the top of every page, since clerks route incoming faxes by case. Federal bankruptcy courts run on CM/ECF, and most attorneys are required to file electronically, so reserve fax for emergencies or for the rare pro se situation where e-filing is not an option. Read the district's local rules first, because a fax that does not follow the cover-sheet and page-limit requirements may be rejected. A delivery confirmation from Send FAX Mail gives you a timestamp showing exactly when the clerk's machine received the pages.

Faxing to US Bankruptcy Court (General) — FAQ

No. The bankruptcy court system is divided into districts, and each district clerk's office maintains its own fax number. Look up the specific district handling your case and contact that clerk's office directly.

It depends entirely on the district. Many clerk's offices limit fax to emergency motions or accept it only when CM/ECF is down. Attorneys are generally expected to file electronically, so check the local rules before assuming fax is allowed.

Most courts treat a document as filed on the date the fax is received before the deadline, but some require receipt during clerk's office hours rather than by midnight. Confirm the rule for your district, and keep the Send FAX Mail confirmation as proof of the receipt time.

List the case number, the debtor's name, the chapter, and the title of the document being filed. If it is an emergency motion, say so clearly so the clerk routes it to the right judge's chambers without delay.
