- 1). Contact the clerk of the court where you pursued a bankruptcy. Contact with the clerk can be made in person at the courthouse, over the phone or via the bankruptcy court's Internet website.
- 2). Request from the bankruptcy court clerk a certified copy of the discharge order from your bankruptcy case. The discharge order is the final judgment of the court in a bankruptcy proceeding. A certified copy is one stamped and signed by the court clerk's staff as being a true and correct copy of the original discharge order.
- 3). Pay the fee associated with the certified copy. The amount charged to obtain a certified copy of a discharge order varies from one jurisdiction to another. The fee for a certified copy likely falls between $3 and $10, depending on the court. Most court clerks accept credit cards, which allows you to request a discharge order over the phone or via the Internet.
