Your discharge letter is your discharge order

When a lender, employer or creditor asks for your "discharge letter," they mean the official Discharge Order the court entered when your bankruptcy case closed. It is the same document as your discharge papers — also called a discharge notice or a discharge certificate. There is no separate letter. Order a copy on this page and it's in your inbox within one hour.

Who's asking for your discharge papers?

Most orders start with somebody demanding this document. Here is what each of them actually needs.

Mortgage lender

Your lender needs proof your bankruptcy was discharged before they'll close — and they typically need to see all the creditors, too. The $45 Complete package has both: the discharge plus the full schedules and creditor list.

Auto lender

Same document, same story. Official copy, emailed within the hour.

Landlord / apartment application

A copy of your discharge papers shows the case is closed and the debts are gone. The $30 package covers it.

Employer or background check

Provide the official bankruptcy discharge order, not a story. Order it here and forward the PDF.

Credit dispute

Creditors still collecting on discharged debts? Your discharge paperwork is the proof. Schedules D–F (the $40 package) list exactly which creditors were included.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you order.

How can I get a copy of my bankruptcy discharge papers?
Place a request on this page. Our clerks locate your case, pull the official discharge order, and email a PDF copy — typically within one hour.
How do I get a copy of my Chapter 7 discharge papers?
Same way — order here. Chapter 7 discharge orders are the most common document we send. Name as filed is all we need to start.
How do I get a copy of my Chapter 13 discharge papers?
Order here. Chapter 13 discharges are issued when the plan completes; if your case finished, the discharge order is on file and we can pull it.
Can I get a copy of my bankruptcy discharge papers for free?
The court issued your original discharge at no charge when your case closed. If it's lost, a replacement means locating the case and retrieving the document years later — that's the work this service does for one flat fee, emailed within the hour, with a full refund if we can't find it.
I lost my bankruptcy discharge papers. Can I get a replacement copy?
Yes — that's most of what we do. We pull a duplicate of the same court-entered order. Lenders and employers accept it because it is the official document.
My lender is asking for my bankruptcy discharge papers. Which package do I need?
Order the $45 Complete package. The discharge order by itself doesn't list any creditors — and lenders typically need to see all of them. The Complete package pairs the discharge with the full schedules (A–J) and the creditor list, and they work together: the discharge proves your case is closed, the schedules prove which debts were discharged. If your lender has said in writing that the discharge order alone is enough, that's the $30 package.
Are the creditors listed on the discharge paperwork?
No — this is the part people miss. The discharge order doesn't name any creditors. Your creditors are listed in the schedules filed with your case, and they work together with the discharge paperwork: the discharge proves your case is closed, the schedules prove which debts were discharged. The $45 Complete package includes the full schedules (A–J) and the creditor list. If someone is asking whether a specific debt was discharged, that's the package you need.
My lender asked for a discharge letter. What do I send?
The official Discharge Order — that's the document lenders mean by a discharge letter. One caution: the discharge order doesn't list your creditors, and lenders typically need to see all of them. The $45 Complete package pairs the discharge order with the full schedules (A–J) and the creditor list. If your lender has confirmed in writing that the discharge order alone is enough, that's the $30 package.
Is a "bankruptcy discharge letter" the same thing?
Yes. There's no separate letter — the official document is the Discharge Order entered by the court. When a lender or employer asks for a discharge letter, this is the document they mean.
What counts as proof of bankruptcy discharge?
The Discharge Order itself. When a lender, landlord or employer asks for proof of bankruptcy discharge, the court-entered Discharge Order is the proof — it carries your case number and discharge date. Order a copy here and it's in your inbox within the hour. If they also need to see the creditors, that's the schedules in the $45 Complete package.
What if I don't know my case number?
No problem. The name(s) as filed are enough to locate your case. If all you need is the case number itself, that's the $25 Docket package.
My case was dismissed, not discharged. Can I get those papers?
Yes. Dismissal orders are retrieved the same way — order the $30 package and we'll send the official dismissal paperwork.
How long does it take?
Post-2004 cases are typically emailed within one hour of your order. Older cases sit in federal archives and take longer — we research every request.
Are these official copies?
Yes — duplicate PDFs of original court-entered paperwork, accepted by lenders, landlords, employers and attorneys.
What if you can't find my records?
Full refund, immediately. No search fees, no partial charges.
