Pursuant to Section VI(B) of the new CM/ECF Guidelines, the Declaration Regarding Electronic Filing (Declaration) must be filed simultaneously with the petition. You no longer have to submit the Declaration in conventional form. However, please note the requirements concerning retaining the original of the Declaration as well as other documents containing original signatures.
A new Declaration Regarding Electronic Filing form has been added to the web site. Please use the new form which deletes the five day deadline for conventionally filing the Declaration. Please note that you should file your Declaration as a separate event which can be found under the Bankruptcy Menu. Choose the Other (category) and then select the Declaration event. Please do not include the Declaration with the PDF of your voluntary petition.
