Ordering a Transcript: M.D. Florida Bankruptcy

Step by Step

How to order

1. Choose a transcription agency from the court’s approved list.  LunarScripts is on the list.
2. Give the agency the case name and number, the hearing date and time, the judge, the ordering attorney and the party they represent, and whether the transcript is for an appeal.
3. The agency requests the audio from the court; you do not need to.
4. Pay the agency directly.  Only approved transcribers file transcripts with the court.

Good to Know

Rates, audio, and deadlines

Transcript fees follow the Judicial Conference maximum rates effective October 1, 2024: $4.40 per page for 30 day delivery, $5.10 for 14 day, $5.85 for 7 day, $6.55 for 3 day, $7.30 for next day, and $8.70 for 2 hour, with lower rates for copies.

Every courtroom proceeding is digitally recorded, and the recording is the official record.  Audio copies are ordered through the court’s online form at $34 per flash drive.  Meetings of creditors (341 meetings) are not recorded by the court; those come from the U.S. Trustee.

To redact personal identifiers, file a Notice of Intent to Request Redaction within 7 days of the transcript’s filing and the redaction request within 21 days; the redacted transcript is filed within 31 days.
