Certificate of Service

Definition

A certificate of service lets the court know that you sent a copy of the form you’re filing to certain additional parties, such as the trustee or a specific creditor. It is often included at the end of the form, but it can also be filed as a separate form.

Upsolve is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that started in 2016. Our mission is to help low-income families who cannot afford lawyers file bankruptcy for free, using an online web app. Our team includes lawyers, engineers, and judges. We have world-class funders that include the U.S. government, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and leading foundations. It's one of the greatest civil rights injustices of our time that low-income families can't access their basic rights when they can't afford to pay for help. Combining direct services and advocacy, we're fighting this injustice.
